We chose a poem from the pen of a born Italian writer Primo Levi, "If This Is a Man" as the poster of this exhibition that comes from the active collaboration of a group of Italians The idea was born several months ago, when no one myoo spoke to me then that this was all in his mind and then slowly began to materialize. Hence the idea of \u200b\u200ba theme exhibition about the Holocaust in an environment like the Garden of Free Art that seemed well suited to such an argument. Then the ideas followed one after the other with the enthusiasm that only matters that may raise heard. None of the sculpture has joined the Kicca Igaly, but why not add to two works also immersive photographic works by the same artistic value? Here is the contact with Icarus Robbiani who accepted the bet-the-fly, by involving itself more creative (Mila Tatham, Rodriguez Imako, Lipsko Loopen, Riri Bazar, Buffy Holfi) who helped him to realize the image he had in his mind ... But an exhibition in Second Life can be a total experience without too much difficulty ... and then signed, with the help of Grazietta Cazenove, has started to look thick literary texts to be proposed to support the event and a real life stage actor, quixotic Growing up, he offered to read them immersed in these works, while a person close to me in real you are involved in the selection of music that will accompany the exhibition, which will be passed on by Storm Blauvelt sl ...
few words were enough to turn us all excited to be able to somehow help to "never forget" ... so we ended up almost by magic, without any major exchange of words, also joined in the message that this show wants to convey a message of hope, which leaked everywhere as always love for life ...

After this long and exhaustive presentation I can be brief and concise in saying that the land of the Free Art today in Memorial Day has done much more to remember! And own a real flashback 40 years in the most atrocious and sank deep wounds of Europe where the whole world, even if the art of second life I've always said is "sterile" if extrapolated graphically speaking of his place and made of pixels on paper ... in the virtual and always makes a suggestion beyond the control of rationality, everything is custom avatar that explores the space and the size "in person" and then today I feel myself a deportation, not a visit to an exhibition and is haunting the theater facilities, but deported to a camp extermination.
I unfortunately missed the moments of the event with music and audio stories that I have been an additional means to understand, even in 2011, the barbarity of an age that is too remote, but I saw so many people around I think and this is enough for me to understand how powerful the imagination evocative feel the star of david in the center and a number tattooed on his arm, smell the smoke from the chimneys and tear with the barbed wire fence.
Then I am struck by a photo .. a candle inside a crematorium oven ... the flame of solidarity that opposes the burning of "hell" that purifies and human dignity back to a place of horror cynical and brutal.
Here is an empathy with all those who want to try a healthy awareness of pain and pietas that enhances the soul and culture definitely should not miss the event.
Merini Alda said, "The poet does not deny the pain, accept it and make it a habit that becomes incandescent poetry," because what we want to avoid this feeling is the only one who opens the way to the next step of the perception of 'love and joy more vivid.
