A thread of light, the “main theme” in cracked red neon always in motion, is the thread of Federica Marangoni’s life and emotions.
A red rivulet of energy and blood – specially visible at night – sharply divides the white façade of Ca’ Pesaro, from the roof almost down to the water of the Grand Canal, where it encounters a technological Venus, a gigantic spool made from a slender and ephemeral plate of glass on whose axis it winds.
From the façade to the Museum’s interior, where in the andron on the ground floor, two “rooms” are connected and marked by this red thread which becomes a rivulet of blood running through a mass of barbed wire, symbolizing the “drama of humanity”: “IS NOT A GOOD DAY TO BE HUMAN” appears behind a beggar and the mass of barbed wire, while disturbing images of printing machines and magazines move across at the rate of a heartbeat.
