Catalogue Note
Se uno vende del ferro al prezzo dell'oro oppure fa un discorso colonialista facendolo passare per pacifista, è un buon venditore. Non a caso, infatti, le parole e gli oggetti venduti dal sistema ci offrono sempre due significati: uno vero, che per vanità non vogliamo leggere, e uno falso, indolore, che accettiamo con voluta complicità per sentirci storicamente validi e buoni venditori.

If a man sells iron at the price of gold or makes a colonial speech and passes it off as a pacifist one, he is a good salesman. With good reason, in fact, words and objects sold by the system always offer us two meanings: a true one, which our vanity prevents us from reading, and a false, painless one, which we accept with deliberate complicity, so that we may feel historically sound and good salesmen.
