It offers different points of view and representations and suggests the need for clearer understanding and embodiment of these issues. Maria Maddalena supports our narration on the theme of self-determination.īy looking at three paintings, each focused on a well-known female gestalt, in a new manner, this installation aims at playing with and perhaps changing our perspective of these universal issues, tackled from a female perspective. The ambiguity of interpretation, elicited by this interactive experience, connects to the ambiguity of information, to its controversial nature. Maria Maddalena, vilified by early Christian history, which confused facts and impeded her to be remembered as a honest human and to be acknowledged as the symbol of knowledge in the Gospels. Lucia di Siracusa supports our narration on the theme of violence and torture. Lucia di Siracusa, denounced to the Roman police and prosecuted for her religious beliefs as a revenge for having refused a pretender, was deprived of her free-will, her dignity and condemned to a painful and denigrating death.

Cleopatra supports our narration on the theme of emancipation. Hounded and wooed by the Roman Empire for her position and power, she was known for her seductive skills and her ravaging intelligence. They illustrate three historical characters: Cleopatra (by Marco Pino, XVI century), Lucia from Siracusa (by Maestro dell’Osservanza, XV century) and Maria Maddalena (by Rutilio Manetti).Ĭleopatra, a Greek queen of Egypt, the last in a line stretching back to Alexander the Great. 22, in the claim of rights “indispensible for one’s dignity and the free development of one’s personality”. The point of departure of this exploration are three paintings of the private collection of the Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena. They reach their maximum expression in art. The themes of emancipation and self-determination are transversally treated in the whole Declaration and constitute two of its leading values. In article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” the theme of violence is exhausted. Through the lens of the personal experience of three women, we look at three fundamental themes: violence, self-determination and emancipation.
