The true story of the destructiveness of Oronzo Ricci
On October 23, 1999, a group of three diverse artists founded an art movement called the "destructiveness". The life of the group lasted three minutes, and the movement carried out by Ricci Oronzo lasted five years. A short and intense life. Already a few months after his birth he had done several times around the world, and influenced not only the language of art, but above average in the universal language. At present, besides the regular studies, there are many irregular revive the popularity of this language, with queries and assertions of the most imaginative, sometimes to the limits of the permissible. All this fits in its own right in the path of the resonant movements, difficult, indeed I think that there is an amateur activity is the subject of attention of both scholars, both by aspiring artists frustrated, if only to discredit. In this regard it is useful to tell an event, among those who have been drawn for the construction of theories of destructiveness.
the night of July 14 of three hundred fifty-four before Christ was born a creature destined to become great, and great was just called "large"; "the great" Properly "Alexander the Great." It is not clear how it could have happened, but if it is true that our life is conditioned by the influence of the stars, the stars that night must have paid all the attention the future great, and had turned to gaze for a moment leaving the rest of the world without care. What happened that night to one of the wonders of the world, was the work of a man, so to say "sir", he realized he had done something in life worthy of perpetuation of his name.
the morning of the fourteenth had to turn up with a thought that's pounding in the brain:
- I could die at any moment, and no one remembered me. In fact there is nothing that has life worth remembering. -
This thought had to create a state of anxiety that reassured the gentleman, so to speak, only when he found the only possible solution:
- At this point, I would not have time to do anything good. For everything you need time, more than talent. - Weighs you think back: - It is not necessary to do something good to be remembered, I could not do something good, not very good. Will be the worst thing I do, the more likely I will have to remain in the minds of posterity. - And he was an extraordinary idea:
- Tonight I will focus all'Artemison. - It was the
Artemison the temple of Artemis, which in the Latin version was Diana, the goddess of the hunt. Herodotus makes it one of the seven wonders of the world, and the Greeks were proud.
In short, ours, so to speak, set fire to the wonder and then calmly surrendered to the judges, who at first did not hearkened not considered capable of such an act.
- I assure you it was me, I alone, alone I set fire to the temple. -
- But do you realize what you would be responsible in this case? For such a crime is the torture of the heifer. -
- Yes, yes. The execution of the heifer. I am ready to suffer the torment of the heifer, but it was I who set fire all'artemison. -
The execution of the heifer was to place the offender in the belly of a calf made of bronze, and then nell'accendere a small fire under the belly and let the flames licked the surface of the metal, which slowly heated until it becomes hot. It is said that the screams of the victim, amplified by the cavity, bringing the bottle twenty miles. But all this to our own, so to speak, did not care, and indeed between a scream and the other is from scompisciava Risare, and he repeated to himself
- Now you'll never forget me. - And it did.
Despite the judge ordered everyone pronounced his name, almost twenty-five centuries his name is remembered escorted to a mental abnormality, this is the "complex Herostratus. Suffer from this complex these gentlemen, so to speak, who could not for lack of ability do something good, trying to make things worse. Some, unable to get on a train, one that leads to glory, they prefer to invest themselves in some way to tie their name to an event that is remembered over time. The story is
Herostratus recalled from memory, so there could be a little imprecise, but the meaning does not change. The Destructiveness
draws lessons from this case, and only to the language are taken into account to bring attention to those signs that the proposal continues, rather than enhance the effect of causing addiction, and they stop communicating. Art is in the fracture plane, which by similarity is the representation of the emotional level. The first thing we put on the floor clings and adheres perfectly. Reading is immediate and effective. With time, even the same mail several times loses its effectiveness. A fracture re-contextualizes and presents a new interpretation, making dignity and force even the most trivial things. This is the sense of destructiveness.
The movement has had unusual luck, partly because it reflects and highlights the main sides of the contemporary language, taking into account and confirming what history has handed down, but also on the 'appreciation "by these gentlemen, you to say that in an attempt to throw himself under the train helping to spread. The twenty-three
