Self-Help Show
In 2023 Illustrator Chris Glynn and poet Luca Paci unpacked their touring exhibition of texts and images, book hacks and music to PoesiaPresente Lab in Monza. Two characters shipwrecked on an island encounter figures from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest and their own waking dreams. The show reflected upon some of the challenges of the Covid pandemic, taking a sideways look at the pros and cons of self help books and self help culture.
Aiuto! SELF HELP SHOW
L'illustratore Chris Glynn e il poeta Luca Paci hanno espongonato la loro mostra itinerante fatta di testi e immagini, manipolazioni di libri e musica al PoesiaPreente Lab di Monza . Due personaggi naufragati su un'isola incrociano figure tratte dall'opera da La Tempesta di Shakespeare ed i loro stessi sogni da svegli. La rappresentazione rispecchiata la situazione degli ultimi della pandemic di Covid lanciando uno sguardo obliquo e surrealista ai pro e ai contro dell’industria e della cultura dell'auto-aiuto.
