Valerio Murat and Antonio Poce
Work title: They made a desert and was called peace, 2014, 8’45”
They made a desert and was called peace is a reflection on evil that manifests itself in the most abominable and live indifferently in the heart of every man. The practices of death defy easy
classification of part and questioning, relentless, the consciousness of each of us. We perceive shapes and symbols of the world and of history in the domain of body dynamics, which precede practice or planned schedules for reading. Transverse images and intermittent streams of matter and thought, whose values cognitive oozing lumps of deep emotions, affinity relationships and connections concentric endless.
