Staring at a bucolic landscape, natural, untouched, you can reach that peace of mind and amazing astonishment to understand that mankind create nothing. Art is nothing without nature, everything comes from the Earth and shines under the Sun. You do not make a landscape immortal by fixing it on a canvas, nature is immortal anyway.
Doing nothing but contemplating the cosmos is the most pleasant and balanced approach to eternity, tranquillity is all we need to reach the same harmony and to feel immanence to the immensity.

The 70 × 100 cm unpainted prepared stretched linen canvas featured in the performance is entitled “bit picture” and it is archived as a unique original ready-made.
