Norma Picciotto, What happens, has already been, what will be, has already happened, digital photograph, printed on Elicobond, 100x70cm

 "What happens, has already been, what will be, has already happened." (Qohelet 3-15)

The artist interprets the Qohelet, a senile work by King Solomon (III century B.C) in which is exhibited the fight between good and evil. It's an occasion to deal with the theme of the fragilty and caducity of human existence, dominated by chance and transience. In the picture, realized through a digital elaboration, are overlapped more photographs, taken in different moments. In this image we can see stacks flanked by rice balls and an ancient Sicilian head surrounded by cannoli and other sweets. Making these combinations, the artist wanted to explain that ancient objects and rocks have the same precariousness as food, which is perishable in a few days.
