ABOUT THE ARTWORK

What has remained impressed in the mind of a trip to Cairo? Garbage City, the city of garbage. In this work Rogolino wanted to enclose the strongest feeling that this experience left him. Thousands of men, women and children, who live on the edge of the megalopolis literally in the midst of garbage and thanks to garbage, because they live on the proceeds of recycling. Dust, infectious diseases and smelly air, but also the smiles of children and their families who, despite everything, even seem satisfied. All under the eyes of a hypocritical government, which looks away, represented in the central bronze mask, placed on a garbage background/texture.
