Inadequacy
Concepts like art and life should be interspersed with one another because there is no need for keeping a distance between human work and the human. Life is art (creative energy sexual) Who said that? That is why the most fascinating art is one which talks about life, that reveals different experiences, recounts specifics, curiosities, or points of view.
In the realm of life it is imperative to reject the idea of a flawlessness that is to be attained (in in order to be able to meet this kind of expectation the only form of art we could refer to is that of cinema). The nature of error is the essence of being Human The stumbling block upon which we've all fallen at one time or another: superficial judgment, impulsiveness, fear or anger, the unending desire for safety and control bad choices. Do you think you've never made any of these errors?

Open: new perspective from which to see
If we fall, we hurt ourselves more or less and tend to look at the cause of our fall, and to think that the mistake was a result our expectations hold of ourselves and other people. The wound is actually the place that we are able to are able to see the truth. From there, we are no longer in the illusion of perfection (which if it were such would not be a problem) and examine what is damaged: we examine it and then look at our own self-image.
Fontana cut her hair with the consciousness of breaking, opening, and tearing since destruction is often the most creative act, particularly in a society where, from an early age, we are immersed in a powerful, imprinted systems of values and beliefs. It's no accident that Fontana declared in 1963 during an interview Nerio Minuzzo that:
"The people who criticize me have often criticized me, but I have never worried about it, I went on regardless and never accepted the salute of anyone. For years they called me "the one that has the holes' with a bit of pity. Today, I realize that my holes and cuts have created a taste are accepted and have even found practical uses. In theatres and bars, they have ceilings made of holes. Since today, as you can see that people in the street can appreciate the latest forms. It is the artists, unfortunately, who understand less '.
When Fontana talks about streetspeople, he is evoking the imagery of imperfection, where the hole is a form like any other in which the becoming of life takes place. Fontana isn't afraid of dirt nor of the violent nature of creative expression: he throws tar on an artifact made of plaster of a man , and names it "Black Man".
The cut transforms into the conquer of space, as an overthrow of sculpture and painting, by creating a new spatiality that contains both: a break from verticality in favour of an open passageway.
This pulsation, which is triggered by inhaling and exhaling of the canvas, is reminiscent from a distance, in a more sophisticated and bourgeois sense, of the work that Gina Pane would later do on her skin: the gesture is nevertheless the timeless protagonist in that context where art is destined to be destroyed; the wound and the cut are border, path and exchange. The artist opens the canvas in two and declares it to be finite. the holes transform into black holes that provide the illusion of depth and reveal the infinite that we will never know.
We are waiting for new discoveries that we haven't discovered yet
Fontana named the cuts "Waits," the gaps from which new and new things are born that we don't are aware of.
When we commit a mishap, when we hurt or harm another person one, we must wait a certain time before the reaction. https://cutt.ly/N25pUrt starts with the shock of the error and the failure to be overcome, and then figuring out what way to go to rectify the mistake or to get it out of the way; then we wait for the effects of that fracture, that error and the possibility of an amazing source. Or not.
Few understood (and are able to comprehend) this concept since they constantly judge the way that human beings and reality are, in addition, affixed to the dual nature of the canvas. We keep fighting with all of our might the right practices, the right way to appear and be as a person in the society, that we rely on rules that eventually define normativity.
It's impossible to find anything more confusing. Convinced that we know everything that we do, we compare our standards to every other organism and ecosystem around the globe however, in reality we are looking at it from a narrow and biased viewpoint that has nothing to do with the reality of Anthropocentrism and personal interpretations of the other which are almost never the right ones.
Accept: there is no perfection in the strict sense.
This is also true for the society that demands us to be the best at all costs, without pondering the fact that perhaps, rather than increasing standards, we need to learn to be more accepting of what is, just in the present. Do we accept pain? Do we accept death? Accept bodies? Do we accept diversity? The most important thing is, once we accept, do you honor our diversity?
Most of the time, we resort to invisibilising those things that don't fit with the "perfect" of our own little planet or universe. It makes us shocked, angry, disgusted and pushed aside, then and swept under the rug and then we show the very imperfection that we are in reality, yet refuse to accept.
Being aware of one's limits is crucial as is recognizing the interconnectedness of everything that is the world system. Either we are ALL put in a position to do our best or there's no incentive or competition worth the effort to be put into it, unless for the goal of fuelling inequality. It's great and good that some after many hours of work have succeeded, like those who were so fortunate. However, in a larger context, always pushing the boundaries a little further it's a perfect' in an impermanent setting; there is no "perfection" in an absolute sense.
Does this even exist?
Cut and let the truth be revealed
It is possible to say that Fontana was a tyrant, as from the beginning, Fontana rejected the simple paths of success, preferring to experiment with the unknown and unpredictably, that is to say: abandoning the notion of being the only and following the path of study which led him to discover some facts.
In my personal opinion, Fontana is the one who rips the veil and allows the light shine through, even if there are black sails that obscure behind the cuts. An artist of spatial art in the same way as the early pioneers of this art, it is not understood solely as a work but also as a gesture a gesture, around and as a consequence of action on space, performance as the activation of a narrative, of which much is practised today.
His cuts illuminate all these, opening new perspectives for art, new points of view on the world , and new questions. The wound that he has caused is more than just pain: the wound is a symbol of mortality, brevity, uncertainty and fragility. Wounding makes us question and makes us think how we can improve our lives, and this is very important to stay on the ground. As difficult as it is to be a victim and as difficult as, in a perfect story of our existence, it would be great (and appropriate) to learn by positive reinforcements. As long that we as a nation are unable to stop one another's pain as like our own, we are condemned to the unresolved and to live in an insanity.
So let us enjoy the cinema and the happy endings it brings, its beauty that we take for granted , and that we misunderstand and take as a template for our lives as the visual arts, however are the children of suffering. Every artist, to speak the truth, must traverse the pain.
