The last dreams

(Installation in plaster, wood, metal, textile, a chair.
Video installation, 10 min. Participant - Enrico Rossi)

The last dreams had been frightening. 
None of them were alike.
Friends and family morphing in and out of each other. Avenging old grievances.

The varicose veins under the compression stockings stretched across the blushing body like plow furrows.

He awoke, alone in a cold sweat.
Tampering with the white clock hoping it would call off the isolation.

Held onto those he could still smell,
or drag his fingers across.

Portraits of grandchildren on horses.

I often found him with a friendly smile.
