The choice of hitchhiking is a choice of trust in other human beings, and man, like a little god rewards those who have faith in him.
the many experiences hitchhiking in the life of Pippa Bacca, took her around Europe, up in St. Petersburg, Istanbul, Finisterre, Ireland and North and Central America.
meeting with Silvia Moro, that the trip has dedicated his last performances, was born an ambitious dream and poetic.
The dream of hitchhiking along the countries that were devastated by recent wars and not always completely sedated. The trip would not be the normal journey of two daring travelers, but the journey of two beautiful brides dressed for a wedding that has already occurred or might not happen or maybe that is the journey itself.
A marriage with the earth, peace, with people all over, looking for the groom? Who he is and what is the groom?
Two brides, two the number of the encounter, mutual and feminine, similarly, the multiple of the other.
readings of an artistic gesture of this type are endless.
The bride is white, light, feminine, life-generating, then peace, love and purity.
The dress, the only one who bring with them will inevitably lose its whiteness and become rich to support the witness, a memoir told by the traces left by the subjects of the places visited, the findings collected along the way ... and the embroidery of local women, for example, as the wire around the Mediterranean and then the decorative element of storytelling, of all the wedding dresses.
The two wives in question thus carried out, along the way, in associations of artists, local artisans, museums and foundations, as well as cultural associations and pacifist ritualistic performances starting with the daily cleaning of the suit, until interaction with the places, people and jobs.
The goal is to explore and collect all evidence possible, by video-camera and correspondence relating to 'meeting of different cultures, and their respective symbolic universes - still connected by a source and an imagination that debunks the notion of borders and geographical boundary. "
The projected path includes a move by Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria , Lebanon, Palestine, Israel,
clothes at the end of the trip will be the artwork to be exhibited, along with of course all the testimonies and artifacts made.
In developing the project we supported: from Byblos realize that the clothes according to our tracks and we will host at the Byblos artgallery novebre for the final exhibition in 2008, the foundation Pistoletto we will make available its contacts in the Mediterranean. Herodotus by the cultural association, from JVC that will give us his camera, the cultural association Casa Morigi, by Tierra del Fuego, from ' Aidos we welcome in Syria and Jordan alri so many that will host us and many others who continue step by step to contribute to this unusual gesture of peace.
