Lo soffia il cielo, cosí, was performed for the first time at the Rocca of Carmignano in 2003. It is a multifaceted performance for individual figures, each of which seems to offer itself as a double of another; apparitions of a repeated singularity that was reflected in the graphic and conceptual elaboration of poetic words that were both repetitive and diverse, destined to float away into the sky.
Each balloon held a written word, and each series formed a phrase: variations on the theme of waiting and absence, drawn from the contributions of five Dutch poets, requested by the artist on an example of Baudelaire.
