Cappelli & Ranzo: Birds - Stories of Trees and Birds
Our gaze rarely rests on the birds in our cities; the silence of the harshest moments of the pandemic and the first great pause of urban centers in this millennium has allowed us to return to listen to them. Timidly at first, and then more frequently, they have reappeared among the trees: the suspension of time has allowed us to return to observe these winged beings, symbol in many cultures of the "transcendence of the self", of our aspiration for liberation from earthly gravity. In Sufi culture, human language is not considered appropriate to express the mystical dimension of the world, whose highest narrative is entrusted to the song of birds.
The exhibition Birds. Storie di alberi e uccelli (Birds. Stories of trees and birds) by Sergio Cappelli and Patrizia Ranzo is the result of many observations, readings and listenings on the theme of birds. Landscapes, on the borderline between natural representation and abstraction, tell of the birds' frequentation of our terrestrial habitat, of the pages of literature, of light songs and musical compositions, of the words of poets and mystical texts.
