Please, teach me Italian

For about a week I was reading texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini in Italian with friends from the gallery. the results served to make an exhibition and justify a series of about 10 photographs entitled: 'basic italian'... (see a view pictures below). the study sheets are works on paper "basic italian, (study sheets).

basic italian - the photographs are photos I have taken in summer of 1996. I simply added text elements taken from basic italian study books.

studying foreign languages is part of my art work. see "a tast for studies"

a second edition of this work in Italy was recently done by me in Florence, at Base with the texts of Antonio Gramsci

a video entitled Please, teach me Italian was part of the show.
