1993-1994

The Dream

Installation, 1993. Piero Della Francesca (whose fresco of the dream of Constantine is represented in the bottom frame) died a few days before Christopher Columbus discovered America.

Peaceful commemoration of the death of Bantu Stephen Biko

Performance/Installation, 1993. On the 11th of September 1993 this 8 hours long performance commemorated the day before the death of Stephen Biko in South Africa 25 years before.

Collages on Argentina

Collages, 1993. In 1978, while Argentina was winning the football world cup people misteryously disappeared. By 1982 the number of missing persons reached a total of 8961.

Self portrait of Ernesto Guevara

Double exposure b/w print, 1993.

The Ballad of Claudio Serrapica

Installation, 1994. As a tribute to photographer and friend Claudio Serrapica (who made a similar work with the povero artist Pier Paolo Calzolari), this installation is the first computer work of Stefano Pasquini. The looped sound of  a music box increased the pathos of Underwood Street Gallery (London UK), where it was first shown.

The Second Dream

A second version of "The Dream", shown in an exhibition called "Italians". Possibly this version wants to be a reminder of the huge amount of Italian emigrating to the new continent at the turn of the century.
