Angels on the skin

The Clips History: a narration technique to capture the ambivalence of memories, events of collective history and the complexities of individual experiences.
The clips: fragments of memory lived on the skin to stop the becoming perceived as one-time.
Angels on the skin offers a wide range of aspects and colours: from Santa Rita of Cascia to Anna Frank, from D-Day to Marilyn Monroe, from the Soviet image and the other side of the Moon to the years of women's new struggles, from the Great war in sixty-eight and the end of "Che", the revolutionary legend, to Mara Cagol, the "angel with a machine gun". A new relationship with the reader in the fascinating ambiguity of doubt, in the secret message to meet only he for whom it is intended.
One thing is certain: after reading the clips, you will no longer be as before.
