LILIANA CECCHIN
Santhià, 1955
The rushed and congested crowd, which meets without seeing each other at a subway stop or a station, turns through her paint-brushes into a smooth, aquatic choreography, ruled by secret rhythms. The crowd has always been the centre of her investigation. She is enchanted by nonexistent time, the one erased by hurry, frozen within a step from here to elsewhere, she captures its soulless drifting suspending it into perfectly balanced visions. In the end she adds movement which, busting in, animates the glimpses with a vibrant and feverish buzz.
