If you have to pass... pass

Marco Tamburro represents urban geography. The Perugian artist erects a boundary barrier: a wall that is a chaotic cemetery of colorful images, symbols, and objects from our culture. A wall that accumulates graffiti, billboards, and vintage movie posters. The worn and faded remnants of the past are covered with eye-catching new advertisements. These overlapping posters are traces of our culture.
Tamburro's experimental collage recalls the legacy of Mimmo Rotella. Furthermore, this multi-colored composition is enriched by violent, restless, and almost hysterical pictorial marks. The expressiveness of these marks brings Tamburro's art closer to that of Emilio Vedova.
But what is the purpose of this structure?
What do we find beyond the wall: obstacles or protection?
Are they hiding something from us?
At the top of the barrier, a glimpse allows us to glimpse the unknown: a dazzling infinity that feels like freedom and purification.
Above the fractured wall, we notice shadowy figures: a jester, Pinocchio, a woman, and undefined human figures. Only they can unravel the mystery: what lies beyond? Perhaps a world far from the logic and mechanisms of our capitalist society. A new Eden-like city where happiness reigns.
Delimitation, then, seems to be a cage that confines individuals. The goal? Single-track thinking, standardization, and media bombardment. The wall is society itself, locking us inside, and through the mass media, we are stunned by a perpetually overflowing river of images.
