Will: female name
1. Human capacity to decide freely what is desired and what is not.
"a person in a state of hypnosis can manipulate their will"
Will is a reflection on the human being's ability to set goals and pursue them. It is made up of two parts: a video positioned inside the Museum and a tour led by a thread that from the exhibition reaches the most important places in the city: the town hall, the old town, the church and the library. Ideally we talk about two different aspects, two different complementary drives: one more intimate and the other projected outward. The Museum here is only a container, a reflective and intimate moment.
It is outwards that the force, the impetus of a will, is released. Reflection inside and action outside.
The work was exhibited at the Lissone Contemporary Art Gallery (Monza-Brianza) in June 2013.
