TRUST UTOPIA Guido Reni and Ai Weiwei global authors in Bologna (eng)

About 12 years ago I wrote the plan for a mystery novel where the bodies were recomposed on scenes taken from four paintings by Guido Reni, David and Goliath, Venus and Cupid, Daenerys kidnapped by Nessus, Atalanta and Hippomenes. David and Goliath is in Florence, Venus and Cupid is in Dresden, Daenerys and Nessus in Paris and two copies of Atalanta and Hippomenes are known, one is in Naples and the other is in Madrid. At the end of the novel we learn that the killer actually stole bodies from morgues and orchestrated complicated police search only to discover later that they were not murders and therefore the novel was not a mystery but a pacifistic satire of police operations. Apart from my unrealized novel, the two versions of this painting are the result of the same project, there are slight variations on the chromatisms, at least from a current view, and on the ideation of the light, these aspects make one bright and contrasted, the other more nebulous. The plastic composition of this paint is quite obsessive for me, I have wanted to take photos of it for years with people lying between the painting who completed the interstices of the voids of the composition between the bodies of Hippomenes and Atalanta, this project also fell through because when I had been in Naples to start this work, in that period the Capodimont museum had sent the work somewhere in the USA. Recently the major media have given prominence to the exhibition in Bologna where the two versions of Atalanta and Hippomenes are being displayed side by side in the same room in the basement of the National Art Gallery and therefore now there is this film. The professor present in the room today, unknown and unaware, is convinced that the Madrid version for the local client really has a Bolognore light compared to the Neapolitan one for a Neapolitan commission with a truly non-Bolognore light. After all Guido Renni is certainly a great author, a global author. Trust you Pia, Guido Renni and Ai Weiwei global authors in Bologna. His title and subtitle are thus instinctively written for this movie, on a walk between the art gallery headquarters in Palazzo Fava where the Ai Weiwei exhibition is set up, but here the protagonist of this movie perceives a connection without finding it. Saddened and with a stomach ache, without the resolution of the mystery and with the specter of a day lost in the Bolognese light of late winter. However, when we arrive at the first room we discover the interpretation of the Bolognore light in Atalanta and Hippomenes by Ai Weiwei is decisive, thus resolving the path of connection between Guido Renni and Ai Weiwei and also completing this movie that, you know, is not a crime story movie but it is a satirical comedy. Seasons every minute. It was an exciting moment.
