This artwork is
dedicated to the Italian author Goliarda Sapienza. This woman wrote the book
"The Art of Joy" which she did not manage to get published during her
lifetime. It was rejected everywhere because the novel was considered far too
avant- garde and scandalous in its presentation of the woman and the pitfalls
that her heroine Modesta meets. In this work, I have presented The Author and her
Heroine as being double of each other, in the manner of playing cards (queen of
hearts/tile or queen of spades/clover), we do not know exactly who is one and
who is the other. They seem interchangeable, twinned, in an inseparable
continuum.
