In 2022, an exhibition on the Swiss painter-sculptor Flavio Paolucci was planned in a German museum. The museum had reserved a white wall on which the artist was to create a work. Everything was ready, but the pandemic prevented the 88-year-old artist from travelling. So Flavio Paolucci had the idea of creating this mural in his studio and then destroying it. This ephemeral artistic gesture stimulated the director to make this portrait.

In un museo era programmata una mostra e previsto un grande lavoro murale, ma la pandemia ha impedito all’artista di soggiornare in Germania. L’idea di Paolucci è di creare questo lavoro murale nel suo studio e poi distruggerlo da lui stesso. Il dipinto esisterà solo nel film e solo i futuri spettatori vedranno l’opera creata all’epoca. Questo gesto artistico effimero mi ha stimolato a fare un ritratto sull’artista della Val di Blenio.
