Saul Scardanelli

Born under Saturn in 1973.

Temporarily living.

My work deals with an ideal top ten of subjects:

1) Childhood
2) The bizarre accident of space we call Time (with the consequent burden of decay and death)
3) Memory, as an uncertain way to recover a glimpse of 1 and put 2 in a bearable perspective
4) Loneliness, as the impossibility to share a common language with others
5) Books, as a compendium of 3 and 4
6) Nonsense, as a revolt against the world
7) Idiocy, as a dialectic of 6
8) Depression, as a birthmark & consequence of 4
9) Drugs, as a way to get rid of 8
10)Lists of topics, things and people
