Innocence #03“In 2006, my life was a desert. Everybody seemed busy, active, alive, while I was a prisoner in my own apartment. Nothing was happening in my life, and I felt I was a thing among others in my home. One day I received from a friend a pack of clay. I started to roll small pearls of porcelain from the clay for no reason. They were cute. To escape from my lethargy, every night I rolled pearls made of porcelain, like Penelope weaving her tapestry while waiting for Ulysses, except that in my story there was no Ulysses. All the pearls together became a very long necklace of a few metres; very beautiful, very difficult to move, very heavy.”This was some years ago. Everything has changed since then: the others and I. This time the necklace weights 50 kilogrammes to embody my 50 years of life. It was a spontaneous idea that I had, which I expressed the idea with joy; 50 is a number so easily said but 50 kilogrammes of porcelain can be tedious and laborious.Picture by Anita Vozza

The Sound of the Princess, 2004In Japan “The sound of the Princess” is called Oto Hime. It is a little machine one can find in the ladies. If you press on its button an artificial noise of flash is generated in order to cover the sound of the urine falling into the toilet bowl“I did not know that women can pee like men” by anonymous in the toilet of the French Art School: Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, France, 2000
Between the Hair and the Stone, 2000Digital photographyThe hair and especially pubic hair is the last territory of the modesty. The hair betrays us. We can shave it, pluck it, it will always come back, revealing our instincts, reminding the primates in us.”Andrée Weschler

The Hairy Virgin, 2004The Hairy Virgin is a true story of a girl whose entire body was covered with hair. She was introduced to the King Charles the 4th, Emperor and King.In his book “Histoires Prodigieuses”, Pierre Boaistuau explains that during her pregnancy, the mother of the Hairy Virgin had seen a statue of Saint John that was covered with animal fur. With the power of her imagination, the mother “transferred” the hair onto the body of her forthcoming baby. The maternal imagination has the power to shape the progeny, it is called the “monstrous imagination”.“A hairy virgin was shown completely covered with hair like a bear; she was born thus deformed and hideous because her mother had gazed too intensely upon an effigy of St John dressed in animal skins which hung at the foot of her bed when she conceived.It is certain that these monstrous creatures most often are the consequence of divine judgment, justice, punishment, and curse; horrified by their sin, God allows [women] to produce such abominations because they hurl themselves forward indifferently, like savage beasts that only follow their appetites, with no consideration of age, place, time, and the other laws established by Nature”Pierre Boaistuau, Histoires prodigieuses, 1560
