10/06/2007 - Inside an abandoned country house, behind closed windows
Better View 'In the abandoned room - Nella Stanza abbandonata' On Black
« Ho spesso immaginato che gli sguardi
sopravvivano all'atto del vedere
come fossero aste,
tragitti misurati, lance
in una battaglia.
Allora penso che dentro una stanza
appena abbandonata
simili tratti debbano restare
qualche tempo sospesi ed incrociati
nell'equilibrio del loro disegno
intatti e sovrapposti come i legni
dello shangai. » © 1987 Valerio Magrelli, From Nature e venature
« I've often imagined gazes
surviving the act of seeing
as if they were poles,
measured distances, lances
in battle.
Then I think of a room
just abandoned
where similar traces remain
for a time, suspended and intersecting
in the balance of their design
intact and overlapping, like
pick-up-sticks. » © Translation: 1991, Valerio Magrelli
