Thank you Ferrara and Factory Grisù for a wonderful start to our #friarjustin project!
Last night @mayameissner and I had our first performance experience, facilitating an exchange of secrets between strangers. Our visitors wrote their secret on the back of a photograph, receiving in return the secret of a stranger to carry with them. These secrets were written in English, Italian, German, and Albanian, by children, by adults, by the elderly.
Friar Justin’s life, as it exists in the photographic keepsake evidence that we found in garbage bags, was one of generosity and spiritual comforting. By encouraging others to let go of the things that burden us in this life, and anonymously take on the secrets of others, we hope to continue the theme of that life. .
Now we're packing it all up and will be building the next instantiation in Venice this week. #marfaopen #marfaopenitalia
