H.M.D.A.M.

H.M.D.A.M. was realized for the last show of the Nosadella.due in Bologna. “Che valore ha un sogno (what does value has a dream)”, was a two days-long event where the national artistic community payed a tribute to the ten years long activities of Nosadella.due. Its curator Elisa Del Prete was going to sell the apartment which was also the location of the residency.

Like many others, I spent there many nights, sometime hosted during my journeys in Bologna. One of those nights I received a call my brother to inform me that our father was brought to the hospital between life and death. I was far from home, and it was too late to take any train to reach them. Thus, I passed the whole the night without knowing if I would had the chance to speak again with my father.

This happened in 2014, when my father died. And the followin years, when I went back to Nosadella.due I couldn’t afford to enter that room without feeling the same heavy suspension and powerlessness.
For that last show of the residency, I decided to face that feelings with this work, and the precariousness of my father life seemed also a methaphor lived by art spaces in these days.
