Streetart – GÔMEZ @ Ragusa, Italy

GÔMEZ @ Ragusa, Italy

GÔMEZ @ Ragusa, Italy

Title: Corpus Homini
Location: Fabbrica Ancione, Ragusa, Italy
Artist: GÔMEZ aka Luis Gomez de Teran
For: Bitume Platform, a project by FestiWall

Possibly the best experience ever.
This huge abandoned bitumen factory will be brought back to life by the passion of its owner Manfredi , by the utopic vision of Festiwall’s artistic director Vincenzo Cascone and by the artworks of the several artists involved. For one year from today it will be accessible, don’t miss the chance to discover this gem of architecture, history, art and humanity.
For my Italian friends here’s a simple sonnet that I wrote to accompany the artwork, it costed me much more effort than the painting itself, but the way it sounds describes the image perfectly, to me.

——————————-
Il mio nome era Gnaziu e questo qui è il mio addio
fui meglio di Picasso con il mescolatore nessuno mi ringrazia o conosce il volto mio
ma sotto ogni tuo passo c’è un po’ del mio sudore.

Vivevo nell’impianto
per non voler sparare
e trasformai il cemento
in acqua, in vino e pane.

E oggi che riscopri un luogo più prezioso
le senti le campane? inizia la funzione. Guarda la torre rossa che si trasforma in croce.

Io oggi ti saluto, adesso mi riposo
per me nel terzo giorno non c’è resurrezione.
Son io oggi a pregarti, ricorda la mia voce
