Street Art in Florence --- Tomorrow will be worse
TOMORROW
WILL BE WORSE --- Street art in Florence, the city of art, where even the walls
become canvases. Artistic interventions, ephemeral art, destined to be
canceled, but sometimes noteworthy. This work belongs to a particular category
of Street Art, close to Sticker Art: the image, certainly made with the help of
a computer, is printed on adhesive paper then glued to the wall. The meaning is
enigmatic and open to the most varied interpretations, the references, which
certainly exist, are indecipherable for us. The drawing, moreover signed,
creates an optical effect: it looks like a face with mouth and lips, mustache
and many eyes. But the mustache comes out of the mouth and might be something
else (vomit? hair?), and the eyes are actually a crowd of unlit church wax lights.
Around, in faded red ink, unknown if drawn by the same hand of the drawing, a
threatening writing: tomorrow will be worse. Might refer somehow to current
events? The world upset by Covid-19? We don't know when it was made and glued
to the wall. Let’s think about it, but it takes a lot of imagination!
