Il gattopardo

«Se vogliamo che tutto rimanga come è, bisogna che tutto cambi»

This textile piece is a vision of a leopard unique in its kind walking in the city. The image we all have of this symbolic animal has been decontextualized, first by inverting the characteristic colours of its fur, so that the background is now the dark colour, which highlights the vibrant and colourful spots that will be full of texture and references to the historic city and on the other hand, applying a high detailed zoom, the scale of the spots is exaggerated, they are enlarged and blurred until they exceed the screen, to invade the city and make us participate in the search for the leopard.
