Patti Campani Testo di presentazione a Luca Dimartino Vintage age "Il moltiplicarsi all'infinito delle fotografie che colgono solo il fuori della vita può contribuire alla fine del mondo. Ma alcuni fotografi, grandi in questo, cercano di salvarlo".  Poesia e fotografia – Yves Bonnefoy

La bellezza dell’arte e del paesaggio è patrimonio comune, ma in questo contemporaneo che la ignora e la priva di senso, la distrugge come un vandalo terribile e ce la rende in un fluire di immagini irrimediabilmente superficiale e continuo di allettanti mete per le vacanze, è ancora possibile percepire  il senso della sua presenza, del suo essere splendida, della sua singolarità? Per preservarla è necessario uno sguardo che sappia non solo coglierla, ma anche e soprattutto divenire dispiegamento del visibile. Bonnefoy suggerisce  che “il fotografo come i veri poeti, percepisce nelle cose ciò che oltrepassa il loro senso mondano” e ancora “Come il poeta, solo il fotografo è colui che accoglie e custodisce la presenza, dialogando con il tempo e lo spazio, presentificando anche il nulla, allontanando l'orrore attraverso lo sguardo meravigliato del primo giorno, strappando al non senso un frammento di senso.” La fotografia può mostrare il lampo della presenza nella distruzione che la modernità ha perseguito e lo sguardo poetico sulle cose dell’arte, del paesaggio, di noi stessi, è una forma di custodia attiva, una custodia che permette di sentirsi parte di un mondo che anziché distruggerle, le moltiplica. Luca Dimartino, artista e poeta, ricerca da sempre questa prossimità alle cose, in un rapporto poetico che lo conduce al loro mostrarsi essenziale e quindi denso di esistenza. Ne accoglie la presenza, ne percepisce l’istante,  le pensa e le rende a noi con gesto artistico. In alcuni precedenti progetti che abbiamo realizzato insieme (Luca Dimartino, personale a Walk about, Post Cards, collettiva a Fiorile+De Diseno)  le immagini fotografiche erano strettamente fuse alla parola, brevi versi che ne definivano la durata  termine inteso qui - sui magnifici versi  di P. Handke in Canto alla durata -  come il momento in cui ci si pone  in ascolto, mutando il momento in meditazione e restituendo l’immagine in una nuova apparenza: libera da ogni simbolizzazione e allo stesso tempo non ridotta alla lettera. Così pure per il ciclo dedicato al Teatro (presentato per Accrochage, collettiva) nel quale il gesto degli attori era di fatto il fluire stesso della durata. In  Vintage age   Luca Dimartino accompagna una preziosità altra e realizza una serie di scatti dedicati all’arte e al paesaggio della sua terra: emulsioni dipinte su carta da incisione Rosaspina.  Una tecnica antica quella dell’ emulsione, lenta, che si appropria di visibilità ad ogni singolo passaggio per arrivare ad essere un unico irripetibile pezzo.  Riporto le parole, che lo stesso Dimartino mi ha inviato: - Le emulsioni sono una tecnica che, se usata come faccio io stesa su carta da incisione Rosaspina, cerca di ritrovare la texture delle Albumine di fine ottocento (…) io le utilizzo perche come le albumine mi riportano ad una sorta di prima Impronta (...) cioè ripercorrendo tutti i procedimenti per emulsionare la carta, per stendere col pennello l'emulsione alla luce rossa, lasciarla asciugare e poi stampare (...) ripercorro, dicevo, le fasi iniziali della stampa; perciò produco immagini uniche, irripetibili. Poi una cosa importante del testo (cioè l'emulsione è come la pagina di un romanzo) è che, sotto la cadenza del  japonisme, viene dipinto a mano,  acquerellato. Queste sono da sempre le sue funzioni nel mio lavoro; le  immagini agresti, le architetture (che simulano i viaggiatori del Grand Tour, le vedute e i particolari) e le marine (…) riportare la fotografia da dove i  fotografi dell800 l'avevano lasciata (...). -

In Vintage age  la parola è sostituita dalla lentezza preziosa della tecnica di stampa, per ricondurre il qui ad essere un luogo dotato di valore, nella consapevolezza che questo  luogo fissato nell’immagine ha rifrazioni infinite, resta dentro di noi ed ha il ritmo della durata. Vintage age ci rende la presenza di una parte di ciò che ci circonda, la sottolinea e ne esalta la presenza e singolarità e lo sguardo poetico di Luca Dimartino ci riporta questa presenza, fino ad un istante prima immersa ancora nel buio della disattenzione, situandola in un nuovo significato, in una nuova sorprendente luce.

Aang x Luke Skywalker Parallels: How Aang’s Hero’s Journey Wasn't Properly Finished

I read this post by @lovegrowsart and I couldn't get it out of my mind how Aang and Luke Skywalker's journeys have so much in common, yet only one of these arcs feels like it has come to a properly finished conclusion. Meanwhile, the other one feels like the character didn't learn what he was supposed to in order to fulfill his Hero's Journey arc. So, in this post, I want to expand more on why “Aang was supposed to be the Luke Skywalker of Avatar: The Last Airbender”, but the creators of A:TLA failed to properly finish his story.

Firstly, it’s important to point out that the Star Wars saga and universe are widely famous in pop and nerd culture, including Luke Skywalker, the Jedi protagonist, who himself is one of the most famous and beloved characters from the saga. So, it’s not really a reach to assume that the creators and writers of Avatar: The Last Airbender were - at some level - inspired by this famous universe and character. By doing a quick research, we can confirm this assumption, because Bryan Konietzko, one of the co-creators of A:TLA, said in a podcast that Dave Filoni helped to shape A:TLA and its story. Also, both creators said that Joseph Campbell’s writing about mythology helped them to create the Hero’s Journey and the other storylines for their show, and George Lucas was also heavily inspired by Campbell when he was writing Star Wars.

(I will refer to the Star Wars episodes of the original trilogy as one, two and three - even though, nowadays, they are the numbers four, five and six).

Bryke (Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, the co-creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender) and George Lucas share a lot of tropes and narratives in the stories that each one of them created. Both protagonists of the sagas are the '"chosen one" of their universe: both are the last of their kind (even though in the Star Wars universe, initially there were two more older Jedi) who have the weight of the world’s future on their shoulders. Aang needs to fight against the Fire Lord and Luke, initially, against Darth Vader. By doing this, they would bring balance to the world/galaxy.

It’s also important to emphasize how Luke Skywalker and Aang are not only the saviors of the story, they are also the last of their kind. In A:TLA and in Star Wars, we have populations that suffered genocide: the Airbenders were brutally exterminated by the Fire Nation during Sozin’s Comet, and initially, it was revealed in the original Star Wars trilogy that the Jedi were wiped out of the galaxy when Order 66 happened. So, Luke and Aang not only have the destiny of the world/galaxy on their shoulders, they also are the only ones who can continue the legacy, the culture, and the survival of their own kind.

Another parallel between Luke Skywalker and Aang is that both have a Mentor From Beyond. Luke Skywalker was able to seek knowledge from the Jedis who had passed away in the original trilogy. Firstly, it was Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was his first mentor; Luke was able to communicate with him, and Obi-Wan would give him advice and directions to follow. Later, Yoda also appeared to him. For Aang, due to the fact that he’s the Avatar (and to be the Avatar means that you are the reincarnation of someone who already died), he was able to contact the Avatars from his past incarnations. In the show, Roku is the past Avatar with whom Aang most often connects, but he also seeks knowledge from Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen.

In Book One: Water and A New Hope, both characters are presented as more naive, and the narrative is not as tense as in the later seasons/episodes. However, the sequel presents a "darker" version of its universe as both characters grow and face emotional dilemmas and more hardships. The Empire Strikes Back and Book Two: Earth explore, even more, the ongoing war in their respective universes, and by the end of these sequels, things go wrong for the heroes. And what I really want to discuss is the similarity between the second episode of Star Wars and the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

At some point in the second episode/season, Luke and Aang had to separate from their group of friends in order to learn more and to train. They had to seek knowledge of what they are and what they represent, because by doing this, they would be a step closer to fulfilling their duties and saving the galaxy/world. At this moment in the narrative, Luke and Aang have an older and wiser mentor who will try to help them achieve this: Yoda and Guru Pathik.

But neither Luke nor Aang finish these training sessions that they started, because during their training, they have a vision of people who are special to them currently in danger. So, even though Yoda and Guru Pathik advise them not to leave and to finish what they started, they leave. Luke goes to Cloud City to save his friends (Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and C3PO) and Aang goes to Ba Sing Se to save Katara. And as stated before, in this episode/season finale, things go wrong for the heroes, including to the protagonists who are supposed to be the saviors of both universes. Luke and Aang left their training even though they were advised otherwise, they went to fight without properly learning what they needed to learn. So when they faced the enemy, they lost. Both at the end were defeated: Aang quite literally dies and Luke has a metaphorical death when he learns about his parentage and loses one of his arms. He also "commits suicide" when he decides to jump instead of aligning himself with the Dark Side.

Now, something really important here is to talk about how Luke and Aang's attachments to people who are dear to them made them run away from what they should have been doing, instead of bringing them closer to their duties and destiny. It was understandable the reasons why they left their training, but it still was wrong in the sense that things went wrong and it ended tragically for both characters. And, it’s never portrayed in both sagas that loving someone is wrong, but being attached to someone is. Both of their Hero’s Journeys required them to learn the difference between what is love and what is attachment, because both concepts are different and one of them (attachment) is portrayed in both sagas as wrong, especially for the protagonists.

Although I’m not Buddhist, nor was I raised as one, it’s clear that Star Wars (1) (2) and Avatar: The Last Airbender (1) (2) both were inspired, to some extent, by this religion and its philosophy. (I tried searching for articles and videos made by Buddhist people, but, unfortunately, I couldn't really find many, so if anyone wants to link more content, please, feel free). And one thing that appears to be inspired by this religion and philosophy in both sagas was the concept of attachment in contrast to love (1) (2). Before delving into the topic of attachment in the show and movie, it’s ideal to understand what attachment means from a Buddhist perspective:

In Buddhism, attachment is called upādāna, which means grasping or clinging. It refers to the human tendency to cling to people, things, or ideas in the mistaken belief that they will bring us lasting happiness and fulfillment. Attachment arises from our desire to feel secure, comfortable, and control of our lives. (...) Attachment to people: Attachment to people can become a source of suffering, as we can become overly dependent on them for our happiness, identity, and sense of security. This attachment can take many forms, from romantic relationships to friendships and family bonds.

While searching for what would be the difference between love vs attachment in Buddhism, this quote also brought my attention (I'll definitely come back to this later): 

Any kind of relationship which imagines that we can fulfill ourselves through another is bound to be very tricky. Ideally people would come together already feeling fulfilled within themselves and just therefore appreciating that in the other, rather than expecting the other to supply that sense of well-being.

George Lucas seemed to understand this concept better than Bryke. In Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker a) trusts his group of friends way more than he did in The Empire Strikes Back, b) he was also able to let go of his anger for Darth Vader because he genuinely loved Anakin, his father. George Lucas was very vocal about how he wanted to portray attachment as a bad thing, and when it comes to this topic, he never intended to make the Jedi philosophy something wrong. Strict? Maybe, but not wrong. And in the end, as the episode’s title suggests, Luke "returns", as he also returns to Dagobah to contact his master, Yoda, one last time. (The title of this episode can also refer to Anakin returning to the Light Side, but art can be interpreted in different and many ways).

In contrast, Avatar: The Last Airbender presented Aang’s attachment to Katara in a bad light. The Guru episode shows that Aang's attachment to Katara, not his feelings, is what is making him fail to open his chakra and not being able to enter into the Avatar State. 

Pathik: The Thought Chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. [Images of Katara appear before Aang.] Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river, forgotten.

It’s even more important to understand that what Aang feels for Katara is not genuine love, at least in this episode, it’s pretty much stated that he is attached to her in a way that he needs to learn to let go. To expand a little bit on this, it’s necessary to analyze two Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes and how they portray what Aang feels for Katara:

Firstly, 'The Fortuneteller' episode portrays Aang’s feelings for Katara as just a childish crush. There's nothing wrong with a childish crush in general, especially because Aang is, in fact, a child, so he's bound to be childish. But in this episode, what he feels for Katara is paralleled with what Meng feels for him: something that was one-sided and lacked "emotional maturity and self-awareness". Both Aang and Meng viewed their crushes in an overestimated and hyper-idealized way, which again was portrayed as silly and in a bad light.

Secondly, in 'The Guru' episode, it shows that yes, Aang does love Katara, but is it in the right way? The Air Nomads' genocide deeply affects Aang, and he still loves the people that he lost, obviously. But in the show, Guru Pathik states that the love that Aang felt for the Air Nomads was 'reborn' in a new love - his love for Katara. So, Aang is projecting his feelings of love for the people who were brutally exterminated onto the girl who, at this moment in the narrative, was only his dear friend who shows him support and fights alongside him. Aang needed to get closure and heal from this traumatic event; it’s a huge trauma that he should work through. But instead, he was coping by projecting his feelings onto something, or better, someone.

I personally think that Aang loves Katara to some extent, but he needed to work through his trauma first. This goes along with something already shown before, quoting: "people would come together [in a relationship] already feeling fulfilled within themselves and just therefore appreciating that in the other".

The chakra/Guru plotline in Avatar: The Last Airbender is not about Aang needing to stop loving Katara; that's a huge misunderstanding. It was about how Aang was attached to something (or someone, in his case) that he needed to learn to let go of, so he could progress, grow, and heal. After he fulfilled this arc about what's love vs attachment, two things could happen: a) maybe Aang would realize that his love for Katara was more platonic and that he was projecting a lot onto her because he sees her in an idealized way, or b) that he indeed loves her but he needs to realize that he's too much attached to the comfort that she gives and brings to him, so his feelings for her need to have more emotional maturity.

And in the end of season two, Aang actually let go of his attachment to Katara, and he was able to achieve the Avatar State. But unfortunately, after this, he was brutally attacked by Azula and had his chakra blocked.

But in Book Three: Fire, not only does he not return to see or contact Guru again, as Luke did (returned to see his older and wiser mentor, Yoda, in the third and final episode), but Aang also appears to still be attached to Katara in the same way that he already was, if not worse. In the Ember Island Players episode, he: 1) gets so mad and frustrated with the Players portraying his relationship with Katara in a non-romantic light that he says that he could go into the Avatar State over this, and 2) rushes things with Katara and kisses her without her consent, disrespecting her boundaries, after she just avoided his romantic questions and advances.

Point 1:

Aang: [Angered.] No, I'm not! I hate this play! [Yanks his hat off and throws it on the ground.]  Katara: I know it's upsetting, but it sounds like you're overreacting.  Aang: Overreacting? If I hadn't blocked my chakra, I'd probably be in the Avatar State right now!

Point 2: 

Aang: But it's true, isn't it? We kissed at the Invasion, and I thought we were gonna be together. But we're not. 

Katara: Aang, I don't know. 

Aang: Why don't you know?  Katara: Because, we're in the middle of a war, and, we have other things to worry about. This isn't the right time.

Aang: Well, when is the right time? 

Katara: Aang, I'm sorry, but right now I'm just a little confused.  [Aang tries to kiss Katara.]

Katara: I just said I was confused! I'm going inside. [Exits the balcony.]

All of this shows how he still lacked emotional maturity, and how he still was attached to Katara, in a way not much different from what was shown in Book Two: Earth. Overall, this shows how his feelings for her weren't properly developed and didn't grow from where they previously were – because it was still bound by an attachment that he needed to let go of in order to grow, heal, and learn.

Unfortunately, the Guru/Chakra plotline was completely brushed aside in Book Three: Fire; Aang doesn't even seek to see Guru again or continue his unfinished training. And in the end, when he was fighting the Fire Lord, what he was always meant to do, he managed to go into the Avatar State. Not because he trained or learned how to achieve this goal; actually, it was because a rock saved him by triggering the Avatar State. So, in the end, an entire plotline was ignored and forgotten. Aang didn't learn what he needed to learn with Guru, nor did he finish the training that he was meant to do, and he still was rewarded by the narrative with achieving the Avatar State and saving the world (and also, "getting the girl").

[(...) and Aang protects himself with an airbending shield but is pushed back by the force of the attack, crashing into a rock pillar. The scar on his back is hit with a point of the rock, causing him to flashback to when he was shot by lightning. (...) Aang jumps out, now in the Avatar State, and grabs Ozai by his goatee.]

And that's why Aang is the Luke Skywalker that we could’ve had. Luke finished his Hero's Journey; he learned what he needed to learn and because of it, he saved the galaxy and his father. Meanwhile, Aang didn't learn about love vs attachment, yet he still achieved what he needed to achieve from the beginning: the Avatar State and winning against the Fire Lord. And he only achieved that because the narrative chose to give him a final new solution to resolve all his problems instead of him directly dealing with and facing the problems, difficulties, and dilemmas that the narrative initially proposed to him.

(I don’t actually mean quite literally that Aang needs or should have been the Luke Skywalker from Avatar: The Last Airbender, because Aang is his own character who has his own story. What I mean is that: Luke Skywalker is a character who is similar in some ways to Aang, and he had his Hero’s Journey properly fulfilled. I believe that Aang also deserved the same treatment by the creators of ATLA).

«Cocci Sparsi» de Le rose e il deserto

«Cocci Sparsi» de Le rose e il deserto #recensioni

Le rose e il deserto è un progetto cantautorale pieno di dolcezza, ispirazione e bellezza, ricorda a tratti i Tiromancino e tutta la vecchia scuola cantautorale fino ai giorni d’oggi, con artisti come Colapesce e Dimartino.

MIEI CARI AMICI VICINI E LONTANI … Cari amici, vicini idealmente e, in questi giorni così complessi per tutti noi, forzatamente lontani, MIEI CARI AMICI VICINI E LONTANI è un'idea nata dal desiderio di sentirvi tutti e di farlo nel modo migliore: attraverso l'arte. Così ho pensato di invitare gli artisti coi quali ho collaborato in tutti questi anni di attività di Fiorile+, ad inviarmi immagini di loro opere, progetti in fieri o pensieri in divenire, che stanno realizzando in questo momento. E condividerle. Una visione periferica, fluttuante, una coda dell'occhio rispetto a tutto quanto è in divenire o già realizzato da ognuno di loro singolarmente. Del resto, citando Forster: ‘Solo quello che vedi con la coda dell'occhio ti tocca nel profondo.’ Una mostra virtuale nella quale ogni singolo contributo sarà pubblicato con una cadenza di tre giorni a partire da mercoledi 8 aprile 2020. 33 artisti: -lancillotto bellini -marco bettio -davide bonazzi -fabio bonetti -julien cachki -andrea cataudella -luca coser -dario coletti -daniele contavalli -luca dimartino -flavio favelli -roberta fanti -raffaele fasiello -roberta filippelli -dario ghibaudo -gabriele lamberti -lisa lazzaretti -pietro mancini -antonella mazzoni -pietro meletti -nico mingozzi -emilio nanni -teresa e. nanni -gianni nieddu -marilena pasini -piero roccasalvo rub -gianfranco sergio -stefano scheda -simone ponzi -vittorio valente -william xerra -umberto zampini -roberto zizzo. Grazie a ciascuno loro ed un caro saluto a tutti. Patti Campani/ Fiorile+

The Southern Strutt- ‘Carnivale’

[weclassybouquetfun]

We’re a tad mid-way through September so we might as well call it a wrap and just claim this as little-October. 

And with October comes the stirrings of awards season for film (tomorrow’s Emmys will close out the television awards season).  We’ve already had Venice, Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals and San Sebastian is currently being held. The film that was screened all four (and will also do London and other fests) is Jane Campion’s THE POWER OF THE DOG.

Directed by Campion (THE PIANO, BRIGHT STAR, TOP OF THE LAKE) and adapted by her from Thomas Savage’s novel of the same name, the films stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee in a film - in alignment with Campion’s other work - is the epitome of a slow burn. 

THE POWER OF THE DOG - (NO SPOILERS)

The film centers on brothers/ranchers George (Plemons) and Phil (Cumberbatch). George, easy going and business minded is the polar opposite of perennially contentious, caustic and cruel Phil, who despite his ways, is respected by the men in their employ. 

When George falls and love and marries the widowed Rose (Dunst), a mother with a teenaged son, the studious Peter).

The union proves trying for both Rose and Phil as Rose is a stranger in a strange new world surrounded by well-to-dos while drawing the ire of Phil who views Rose as -at best- an interloper coming between he and his brother or at worst, a parasite after their wealth. 

Great performances, great cinematography, great score done by Radiohead lead guitarist turned noted, Oscar nominated composer Jonny Greenwood (who also scored Pablo Larrain’s SPENCER starring Kristen Stewart and reunited with Paul Thomas Anderson for the 5th time to score PTA’s upcoming film LICORICE PIZZA starring Bradley Cooper and Ben Stiller).

By all accounts THE POWER OF THE DOG is fairly faithful to the 304 page novel, but what works in literary doesn’t necessarily work for the film. With literature the reader’s imagination can do the filling of the blanks, but film - a visual medium - sometimes things can be too abstract.  The film doesn’t really gives us in way of what the characters are thinking. Just a lot of scenery and vibes. But fine film. 

Great seeing Smit-McPhee grow into an excellent actor.

From THE ROAD, to X:MEN: APOCALYPSE

to the fantastic ALPHA (a film that posits how dogs were descended from wolves)

-Another Cumberbatch film that debuted at Telluride and TIFF was the biopic THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN

Co-written by Simon Stephenson (Luca) and multi-hyphenate Will Sharpe who also directed,

THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN is just that, an electrical, whimsical look at the life of artist Louis Wain played by Cumberbatch, with Claire Foy playing his wife Emily.

And like Wain’s art,

the film is filled cat. Forty non-digitized cats, appear in the film. 

Please let Cumberbatch do Zoom press using this as his avatar.

Sharpe appeared in one episode of SHERLOCK so this film was a reunion of sorts, 

but it was moreso a reunion of the series Sharpe created and starred in FLOWERS

as THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN features his FLOWERS costars Julian Barratt, Olivia Colman as the film’s narrator and Sophie Di Martino (Sharpe’s real life partner and mother of his two children).

Picture of Sharpe that DiMartino took for the virtual BAFTA-TV awards.

Di Martino, of course, has ties to the MCU as she recently costarred in the Disney+ series LOKI as Sylvie. 

Sylvie ready to cause chaos/Sophie ready to nurse.

We need to see Dr. Strange and Sylvie meet up in the multiverse. Maybe he can hook her up with a new fit, too.

-Sharpe has also collaborated once again with Colman in the upcoming Sky/HBO miniseries LANDSCAPERS.  Written by Colman’s husband, first time screenwriter Ed Sinclair, LANDSCAPERS stars Colman and David Thewlis based on the true story of a couple who plot to kill one of their parents.  Originally, the mini was to be directed by Alexander Payne (Election), who dropped out, allowing for Sharpe to come in to direct and lend his artistic eye to the proceedings.

LA NEBBIA di Luca Martini  dedicato a IL RITRATTO Luca Dimartino e Andrea Cataudella

LA NEBBIA 

Camminava da ore, forse da giorni. Non sapeva cosa fosse successo. Si era ritrovato solo, ignaro del proprio nome e del passato, in una strada buia e confusa, e l'unica cosa che sentiva di dover fare era camminare. Era sfinito, le mani tremavano e i piedi erano un ammasso di carne putrida, infarcita di dolore e illogica speranza. Il viso era ferito, lo zigomo destro insanguinato, e la gamba gli faceva un dolore insopportabile. La trascinava, sfregando la suola della scarpa, aiutandosi con le mani, che imbracciavano la coscia destra a completare il passo faticoso, come fosse un sacco di cemento. La nebbia non gli faceva vedere nulla, camminava senza peso, senza sapere dove posava i piedi e avanzava a tentoni nell’aria densa, invischiata di umido grigio che lo portava in un posto di non sapeva dove. Non un rumore fuori, non un odore. Nemmeno una voce, un sorriso, un profumo di primavera. Nulla. Ogni tanto qualche grido, nulla d’umano, solo sofferenza, un urlo di animale ferito. Meglio, dilaniato. Continuava a camminare, senza sentire più niente, né anni, né sesso, né volto, né scopo. Proseguire senza sapere dove andare era l’unica cosa che poteva fare, come se il programma si fosse inceppato e il cervello non avesse più scampo. Ad un tratto nella nebbia vide qualcosa di più scuro che si muoveva verso di lui. Una sagoma nera, grande, anzi, normale. Un profilo umano. Riconobbe quel passo ciancicato, quell'andatura stanca, senza futuro. Continuò a camminare, rallentando il passo, lasciando la presa delle mani sulla coscia, fino a fermarsi. La sagoma buia fece lo stesso. Restarono fermi nella nebbia, a un passo l’uno dall’altro senza vedersi davvero. Due corpi senza volto, due aloni neri, scuri e densi. Poi avanzò. “Papà”. Gli parve di riconoscere la figura di suo padre, ferma nella nebbia, immobile come una statua erosa dal vento e dal sale, senza occhi, la bocca contratta in una smorfia di dolore. “Papà sei tu?” Allungò le mani, trovò il suo viso, gli accarezzò la barba dura e riconobbe le sue sopracciglia folte, quelle due pelurie irsute e pungenti che tante volte aveva accarezzato da bambino mentre lui gli leggeva una favola. Lo ricordò sulla spiaggia, tutto vestito mentre faceva un caldo terribile, a raccogliere conchiglie e piccole telline sul bagnasciuga. L’uomo sorrise, poi fece un passo indietro, allungando una mano mentre svaniva nella nebbia. Lui si sentì perduto. Orfano. “Papà aspetta, devo dirtelo”. Fece qualche altro passo, sempre più faticoso. Io lo so Vide suo padre che apriva le braccia e gli faceva cenno di avvicinarsi. Avanzò ancora, stavolta felice e leggero, senza dolore, senza paura. Poi mise un piede nel vuoto. E tutto svanì, lasciando spazio soltanto al niente. Alla nebbia che riempiva quel vuoto senza domani e che lo inghiottiva con mani rassicuranti. “Ti voglio bene, papà”.

Luca Martini, novembre 2018
