Imperfection
Concepts such as art and life have to be mixed with each other since there is no reason for maintaining a separation between the work of humans and human being itself. Life is art (creative energy sexual) Who would have thought that? This is the reason why the most intriguing art is the one which talks about life, which unravels different experiences, the details, curiosity, and points of view.

In the realm of the world, it is imperative to disbelieve the notion of a perfectionism to be reached (in response to expectations of this sort The only art that we can think of is the film industry). The nature of error is the essence of being Human The stumbling block that we've every one of us at one point or another: the faulty judgement, haste, fear, anger, the incessant search for security and control and making the wrong decisions. Don't tell me you have not made one of these mistakes?

Open: a new perspective from which to see
If we fall, we injure ourselves more or less and are prone to judge that fall, to consider the mistake a fault because of the expectations we set of ourselves and others. The wound is actually the point where we can see the truth, from which we can no longer rely on the illusion of perfection (which in the event that it was so shouldn't be hurting) and examine what is broken. We look at it and look at ourselves.

Fontana cut with the awareness of breaking, opening, and tearing because destroying is often the most creative act, especially in a society in which, even from a young age, we are immersed in a strong, impregnating systems of values and beliefs. It's no accident that Fontana stated in 1963 in an interview Nerio Minuzzo that:

"The people who criticize me have often been a slam on me, but I have never thought about it. I just went with it and never accepted anyone's salute. For years they called me "the one that has the holes', with some pity even. However, today I can see that my holes and cuts have been a hit that is accepted, and they even find practical applications. In bars and theatres they make ceilings with holes. Because today, you see, even the people in the street can comprehend the latest forms. It's the artists, unfortunately, who understand less '.

When Fontana talks about streetspeople, he is evoking the idea of imperfection in which the hole is a shape like any other where the transformation of life can be seen. Fontana isn't afraid of dust nor the violent nature of creative expression: he throws tar on an artifact made of plaster of a man , and names the sculpture 'Black Man'.

Years later, the cut is transformed into the conquest of space, as a triumph of sculpture and painting through a new form of space that combines both a break from verticality in favour of an open passageway.

The palpitation that occurs, both inhaling and exhaling of the canvas can be seen from afar in a more cerebral and bourgeois way, of the work that Gina Pane would later perform on her body: the gesture is nevertheless the eternal protagonist in that context where the art will eventually be destroyed. The wound and the cut represent the path, boundary and exchange. The artist herself opens the canvas and declares its finiteness; the holes are transformed into black holes, which give depth and make us perceive the infinite that we will never know.

Wait: we are discovering new things that we do not yet know
Fontana named the cuts "Waits," the openings from which new and new things are born that we do not yet know.

When we commit mistakes, and cause harm or injury to another, we have a waiting period before we react. The first reaction is the shock of the mistake and the failure overcome, and then figuring out what steps to take to rectify the mistake or to get it out of the way and then waiting for the consequences of that fracture, that mistake,  [[https://notes.io/q2yPf|notes.io]] which could be a brand innovative and valuable resource. But it's not.

Few understood (and are able to comprehend) this philosophy , as they are constantly assessing the way that human beings and reality are, in addition, affixed to the two-dimensionality on the wall. We continue to defend with all our might the right methods, the correct way to appear and be in society, so much so that we resort to norms that ultimately define Normativity.

Nothing could be more incoherent. Convinced that we know everything and everything, we apply our standard to all other living organisms and ecosystem in the world, but in reality we see it from a narrow , biased viewpoint that is not in line with reality. Anthropocentrism and personal interpretations of other theories which are rarely the right ones.

Accept: there is no absolute perfection.
This is also true for this society that wants us to do our best every chance they get, without reflecting on the fact that perhaps, rather than raising standards, we should accept more of things just in the present. Do we accept pain? Do we accept death? Accept bodies? Do we accept diversity? The most important thing is, after accepting, do we respect our differences?

In most cases do we choose to ignore the things that do not match the "perfect" of our little world or universe. This causes us to be feel angry, shocked, and disgusted to be swept away, ignored, or swept under the carpet, and so we manifest the very imperfection that we are in reality, yet do not accept.

Knowing one's own limits is crucial and so is understanding the interconnectedness of everything in the world system: either we are ALL placed in a position to do our best, or there's no competition or effort worthwhile with the sole goal of creating the spread of inequality. It is all well and good to know that some after much effort have made it, just like the ones who are lucky. However, when you look at it in the larger sense, constantly stretching the boundaries a little further the definition of 'a perfection' in an 'imperfect situation; not a 'Perfection' in the absolutist sense.

Could this ever exist?

Cut and let the truth be revealed
We can conclude that Fontana tried, because right from the beginning, he rejected the easy paths of success, preferring to try out the untested and the uncertain, that is to say, he renounced the idea of being the only one and following the research path which led him to discover certain truths.

For me, and in my personal perspective, Fontana is the one who tears open the veil and lets the light in, even though he put obscuring black sails behind the cuts. An artist of spatial art and one of the pioneers of the art that is understood not just as a piece of work, but as a gesture, an act, in and around it. in the context of actions in space, and performance as the activation of narrative, and this is the way it is practised today.

His cuts are a great example of these, opening new perspectives to art as well as new perspectives on the world , and new questions. The wound, for this, is more than just pain: the wound highlights the idea of mortality, shortness, uncertainty and fragility. A wound can make us think, makes us question how we can improve our lives, and this practice is essential to stay grounded. As difficult as it is to suffer and as much as it is in a perfect story of our existence it is ideal (and right) to gain knowledge only through positive reinforcements, as long we as a species do not want to be a part of the suffering of others as well as our own, we are stuck in the unsolved, and to live in an insanity.

So let's enjoy the cinema and its happy endings, its beauty and perfection that is taken for granted and which we take as a model for life, because the visual arts on the other hand, are the daughters of pain, and every artist, in order to tell a piece of truth, has had to pass through the wound.
