You said: "I'll go to another country, go to another shore,
find another city better than this one.
Whatever I try to do is fated to turn out wrong
and my heart -like something dead- lies buried.
How long can I let my mind moulder in this place?
Wherever I turn, wherever I look,
I see the black ruins of my life, here,
where I've spent so many years, wasted them, destroyed them totally."
You won't find a new country, won't find another shore.
This city will always pursue you.
You'll walk the same streets, grow old
in the same neighbourhoods, turn grey in these same houses.
You'll always end up in this city. Don't hope for things elsewhere:
there's no ship for you, there's no road.
Now that you've wasted your life here, in this small corner,
you've destroyed it everywhere in the world.

People on a Bridge by Wislawa Szymborska
A strange planet with its strange people.
The yield to time but don’t recognise it.
They have ways of expressing their protest.
They make pictures, like this one for instance:
At first glance, nothing special.
You see water.
You see a shore.
You see a boat sailing laboriously upstream.
You see a bridge over the water and people on the bridge.
The people are visibly quickening their step,
because a downpour has just started
lashing sharply from a dark cloud.
The point is that nothing happens next.
The cloud doesn’t change its colour or shape.
The rain neither intensifies nor stops.
The boat sails on motionless.
The people on the bridge
run just where they were a moment ago.
It’s difficult to avoid remarking here:
this isn’t by any means an innocent picture.
Here time has been stopped.
Its laws have been ignored.
It’s been denied influence on developing events.
It’s been insulted and spurned.
Thanks to a rebel,
a certain Hiroshige Utagawa
(a being which as it happens
has long since and quite properly passed away)
time stumbled and fell.
Maybe this was just a whim of no significance,
a freak covering just a pair of galaxies,
but we should perhaps add the following:
Here it’s considered proper
to regard this little picture highly,
admire it and thrill to it from age to age.
For some this isn’t enough.
They even hear the pouring rain,
they feel the cool drops on necks and shoulders,
they look at the bridge and the people
as if they saw themselves there
in the self-same never-finished run
along an endless road eternally to be travelled
and believe in their impudence
that things are really thus

"Autunno in città" di Mario Pucci
E piove, piove, piove
su l’asfalto lucente delle strade,
sui tetti e le terrazze delle case,
nei viali e nei giardini,
dove tutto è candor lieve di foglie
che la terra in un freddo abbraccio accoglie.
Ma se il vento si leva,
le nubi si rifugiano lontano
e il sole torna e tutto fa brillare:
i tetti ben lavati,
le piazze, i monumenti, ogni fontana…
e l’estate non sembra più lontana.

Introduzione all'autrice
L'arte di Alice è un geniale compromesso tra forma e soggetto, che convogliano in una pittura figurativa con un lato evocativo forte, in grado di suscitare un concetto, un'idea, sul quale riflettere. Alice giunge al concepimento dell'opera tramite un percorso di pensiero, meditazione ed organizzazione scenico-architettonica. Suburbia, richiama lo stile grafico e video delle band rock degli anni 70, in particolar modo dei Pink Floyd di The Wall. Il dipinto denuncia l'innalzamento di barriere che limitano la libertà e l'individualità dell'uomo, sia tramite una urbanizzazione folle a scapito della natura, sia per mezzo di una globalizzazione spersonalizzante ed omologante, che mira solo al profitto. Suburbia è il nome col quale, a partire dagli anni '60, si indicano le periferie middle-class delle grandi città nord-americane, sorte per soddisfare le aspirazioni della classe media ad una migliore qualità di vita e impostare sul modello del "recinto abitativo". Essa incarna uno stile di vita borghese, laddove le moderne "Metrolandia", le zone residenziali alla periferia delle grandi città cresciute di pari passo con l'ampliamento delle reti metropolitane, non sono un luogo, ma uno stato mentale (Barnett 1988, pp. 38), anticipando il concetto di non-lieu di scuola francese (Augè, 1992). Ebbene, Alice non ci sta a mettere "another brick in the wall" ed è la prima a togliere un mattone nel nostro muro di Berlino....
