"Through a dark mirror"
the tormented images of Giorgio Bormida submerge you in the depths,
in deep time full of beauty and anxiety.
As Dante's descent into hell that is at once familiar and distant.
An underground Venice, a cry without witnesses,
light and darkness, past and present, pietra e carne…
Like in the swampy cemeteries of New Orleans decaying with
partially submerged tombstones, sangue essiccato e frangipani,
how to give a goodbye kiss to a child embalmed,
withered flowers and sandalwood, grotesque and beautiful together…
An abduction of trapped energy, the silent scream,
one who is unnoticed, notes… Wrapped in silence,
reaching the shadows of our souls.

Barbara Steele
