“Each thing once, only once. Once and no more. And us, too, we also once, even just once..
(R.M. Rilke, “Duino Elegies”)

“We have been at the beginning”, (tr. but also “Yes, at the beginning I love”) playing a perverse game of expectations. I tried to eat a banana, but it didn’t work…I am not a monkey. So we said to ourselves “let’s go on” (tr. but also “I love on”) and we got lost deep in the cave, experiencing happiness. But we missed the meaning. We got lost outside ourselves, we danced on our own borders, we expanded, dilated, touched, withdrew, we tried to stay as long as possible in that intensity, then we escaped somewhere else…now we are worn out, we need to protect ourselves. You steal my soul… again it’s a matter of freedom but I want to be enough for myself, cultivate the sense of distance, learn how to enjoy doing as I like with myself. Is “Let’s leave everything (tr. but also I love everything)” a paradox? The emptiness that allows fullness? The pause before the breath? In the end the same questions remain: What do you give me of you… How do I want myself, and what do I know of you? And you? How are you? Are you happy? How far do you move away from yourself to feel yourself? Who are you fighting against today?

(lasci)AMO TUTTO (tr: “I leave everything” but also “I love everything”) is after (si)AMO ALL’INIZIO (tr: “We are at the beginning”, but also “Yes, at the beginning I love”) and (andi)AMO AVANTI (tr: “We go on” but also “I love on”) , the third attempt of the project GIVE ME MONEY GIVE ME SEX, give me coffee and cigarettes_?
