Una voluta citazione dell’opera Atlante di Ghirri.

Manifesto dell’Esibizione di Stoccolma del 1930.

Il piacere sta nell'attesa del piacere stesso

Mi ha sempre fatto impressione come su di un assegno, o in banca, bisogna scrivere un numero anche in lettere.

Il “64” inciso nella pietra è il numero civico di via dei Serragli, a Firenze, indirizzo dell'edificio in cui è nata e cresciuta mia nonna.

Tanto precisi, quanto casuali.

Un numero per analizzare il reale. Un affissione di un circo scolorita dal tempo. Le persone non possono uscire, le affiossioni non hanno motivo di essere cambiate.

Ciò che mi piace dei numeri civici è che, nonostante siano piccoli dettagli, danno un contributo particolare al contesto architettonico urbano, sia esso un paesino di mare o il centro storico di Milano.



Il numero “6”o il numero “9”? Ho sempre trovato ambigui questi due numeri. Basta perdere un punto di riferimento per non comprendere il giusto significato delle cose e ridurre un semplice numero a un segno senza significato


21: il nostro anno



Anche l’età è “solo” un numero. Il tempo vissuto racchiuso in una cifra.




Einaudi 96: i Buddenbrook

Nel lontano 2015 : “Ciao Mamma , vado a vivere da sola per la prima volta”

Alcune cose accadono indipendentemente dalla nostra volontà. Non ci resta che aspettare che il tempo passi, mentre noi stiamo lì ad osservare.

Un particolare avente come soggetto un qualsiasi numero.

Brusson, 2021


Un numero della tombola.
A number
Take a number as protagonist. A single thought that is reminiscent of the basic language of human society and history, which influences science and economy beyond everyday’s life.
