Subvert the perception of space. Create a fragile structure and a device that limits and emphasizes transient dynamics. To question and be questioned on the concept of memory, normality, and gender identity. From these reflections arises Vorrei che il cielo fosse bianco di carta, the solo exhibition by Dafne Boggeri at the new exhibition space of Careof at Fabbrica del Vapore.

With a meaningful title borrowed from a song about the partisan Resistance, Dafne Boggeri’s project triggers interferences between different worlds and imaginaries, creating a ’cascade’ device of interventions that gather her previous experience to hold it and echo it. During the opening evening, the space will be occupied by an installation inviting the public to participate in a collective performance. Traces of the event and part of the structure will remain in the following days, interacting with signs and works including Last/Lost, connected to a performance carried out during the final closure of the historic Parisian club Le Pulp (2007). Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before instead presents the deliberately fragmented and irrecomposable story of the German musician Bettina Köster, a protagonist of the No Wave scene in Berlin and New York in the 1980s.

On the occasion of the exhibition, the artist’s book Last/Lost - Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before (2008) will be published in 100 + 10 AE editions, 70 pages in color. With the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo
