In a conversation of three, you can be present and, at the same time, outside. We do not become transparent because we are worth little: other people’s attention follows other logics, and calm is sometimes the shortest route to turning into glass.
Everything that matters has its own exposure time. Roberto Donetta’s glass plates and a round house in the Blenio valley show what remains when we agree to stand still.
The lives we did not live look perfect because they never met reality. From Robert Frost to Dan Ariely’s vanishing doors, why the comparison with the doors we left closed is never a fair one.
