i swear i did not want to be boring this time, i swear, but i have a story now and i find it really hard not to tell you about it…
so…

the brazilian artist Nunca was painting this big dude on a facade downtown,

it was really hot, with peaks of 35° (celsius) and the wall had this nice touch of burning sun on it for the whole day (the whole week actually). Every now and then, this other dude in flesh and blood, was coming to visit us and chat a bit about the drawing and the content of it. He lives on the other side of the street and he was coming down to throw away some soil while gardening on his balcony. he was really nice and had a very kind attitude, wich is pretty rare these days, especially if you’re painting a huge wall in a place where people are scared of changes and any sort of non-ignorable news.

when the painting was finished, this charming man showed up again and told us that he would miss us, and that it had been a pleasure for him to see us painting on the other side of the street. He also finally gave us his interpretation of the piece saying that, working on the land, you can finally find resources and opportunities.

well, this guy, is the ex-mayor of Grottaglie, the one that togheter with the council made agreements with the trash company that built the very famous dump right outside town. hiding all these decisions from the people.

now, dear mayor, thanks for the kind words, i hope you’ll find some time to consider my own interpretation of the piece too:

you can make big big money from our land

you just have to fuck with it first

you surely know it better then me though, you guys have fucked it really, really, hard
