Catalogue Note
"L'unica difesa è l'oblio, l'atto del dimenticare inteso come la più alta forma di memoria: dimenticare/cancellare le forme codificate e preordinate del pensiero significa infatti riuscire a liberare l'essenza della vita, che in tal modo torna a fluire in modo indeterminato e dunque autentico".
Chiara Bertola, in Vincenzo Agnetti, Milano 2008, catalogo della mostra, Mart di Rovereto, p. 51
"The only defense is falling into oblivion, the act of forgetting perceived as the highest form of memory: forgetting and deleting the pre ordered and codified forms of human mind lead to the final release of the essence of life, allowing the return of its flow in an undetermined and thus authentic way".
