Notes
Born from the first version “Scegli il Paradiso”. This version is more dramatic and irreverent, trimmed to the bone, a body that does not want to disappear, a skeleton entirely made in silver, incorruptible like death. The setting is again a portion of earth where the section transpires the remains of a human era, on which nature blossoms and arranged by this figure with a grass mower. The flowers, instead of the first version, are dispersed on the surface and cover part of the skeleton.
