My three-day schedule in Modena only allowed me to take some snaps along the way while commuting between the museum and my hotel in the old part of the city. However during a trip down to Florence two days after the exhibition opening, I managed to spend about half a day walking around town with my camera in hand.
While my work usually revolves around the “radical artification of the city” as a general motto, in Florence, a city of art since ancient times, I couldn’t find anything that wasn’t already turned into art – to an extent that made me laugh out loud time and again. Once aware of the boorishness of my attempt to turn such a place into art with my camera, I found myself left with no other choice but to return to my daily snapshot routine. As it turned out, the chicks in the streets were remarkably sexy.
