With this poster Giovanni Gambasin presents his solo exhibition of 1987 in Venice. St. Mark's Square stands out with its bell tower and the Bridge of Sighs, two symbols that represent the city. The first is a theatre of meetings, daily life and celebrations, the second a passage towards suffering. Almost opposite realities that coexist, intertwine and blend, as do the bodies, naked and sensual, depicted in attitudes of enjoyment and pain. The mask over the bridge of Sighs suggests the desire to escape the rules of reality, to be able to be anyone you want in a fantasy world, perhaps a dream that lives in the deepest unconscious and where desires, fears, ancestral instincts are kept.
