46432,82 € riqualificazione, fontana della piazza garraffello

"you are german" 

"no austrian"

"but its the same" 

"no" 

"but you are very different than we are, our kids too" 

"who?" 

"the germans kids" 

"and i tell you that the german kids have 2 eyes, 1 nose, 1 mouth, hairs up on the top like the italian kids. girls and boys, same constellation" 

"..but the education is different" 

"just a question of the mother, signora isn´t it?" 

"anyway we have to check the dimensions of the fountain again" 

"oh again" 

"yes thats our work"

"signora, how do you think? that makes sense?" 

"i studied history, i know this fountain as well. we did the masterplan of the renovation for this fountain just 20 years ago. finally we have got the money from the EU" 

"how much?" 

"46.432,82 €" 

"to take the old stones out from the fountain, which you´ve thrown inside after the last riqualificazione of the last pavement on this square of 2,4 mio € from the EU?" 

"yes you are right"  

"i advice that you should come after midnight again to check out the dimension of our old fountain" 

"why?" 

"reality" 

"what does it mean?" 

"it means that if you´ll come between 2am and 4am to check out the dimensions and you will get in touch by the contemporary history where this old fountain exactly is" 

"we are not working in the night" 

"but if you come at this time, maybe you can´t find the fountain, because its full of bottles from our lovely drunken kids, someone of them clash the bottles against the fountain, just for fun, you know." 

"really?" 

"reality" 

"but they are uncivil kids. its a shame. they are not like my kids" 

"i tell you that they´re your kids too. mostly they are from places at the city where you are living and they come with a smart and a mastercard of their parents. but its ok. all kids lose the control when they drunk too much. splinter of glass from the broken bottles in the fountain is a fantastic effect on heroin. otherwice on coke its much better you look up to the red cross and my name under the banca nazion, before you throw the bottle into the fountain. but hurry up, they old big stones here inside was your work and costs a lot of money. an expensive damage" 

"now you see how different are our kids than yours" 

"what?" 

"we have arabian blood in our bloodline" 

"what?" 

"you have any ideas how we should do the renovation of this old fountain, i´m asking you curiously only?" 

"make a cage for the fountain" 

"a cage?" 

"yes with a door for people they need the water" 

"but this is very bad, a gage" 

"why?" 

"after we did the walls 2,5 years ago to close all the streets into this square. bad image too" 

"perhaps a gage is good to safe the fountain for clashin´ bottles and for the next collapse of one of these palaces behind the fountain, do you see?" 

"germans are so precisely" 

"i´m austrian"

"but its the same" 

"no" 

after the leader vip woman and the vip group of the bene comune di palermo were gone away. they didn´t put the dimensions of the fountain anymore. maybe they were afraid of the dark eyes of my neighbours, they looked like how they look like when some staffers of the comune come to the piazza garraffello. i don´t care, this are sicilian intern stories.

costanza

bancomat

today i have seen the most beautiful picture at the piazza garraffello ever. i waked up after a blackout behind the bancomat in the center of the square. when i opened my eyes i saw a blue sky with softly clouds inside, the palazzo lo mazzarino, on it the banca nazion sign, the red cross and all the garraffello faces. they were looking with their big eyes into my yellow cold face. someone put with his fingers waterdrops from the fontaine on my face. others put my legs higher up the green chair. i´ve seen a symmetric personal frame with the last people they rested, the last neighborhood from the time when i started here. i saw a dramatic costanza in the middle of them. the ambulance came and took me to the hospital. the dramatic palermo city hospital. blood on the flour, blood on the roof, blood shines in your eyes. blood everywhere.

apocalyptic rider

the apocalyptic rider´s real name is piero. mr piero lost his job. he was a public line bus driver in the city of palermo. from that day on he wasn´t able to go home to his wife, because no money, no food, no love anymore. thats why he climbed up to the roof of one palace of the 4 canti and he cried in a megaphone for all the people in the city, that he wanted jump down. his wife and a lot of other sicilian women were running by quickly. they cried: stop piero, don´t jump! piero! piero! no! the firefighters up on the electric ladder ready to catched him, while mr piero cried to the firefighters: stop! don´t come too close to me! if you come, i´ve to jump into death! they answered: ok piero, we don´t come too close, but piero listen, don´t jump! the time was passing and suddenly the women started to cry: jump piero jump! but the firefighters cried against: no piero don´t jump! the melody how the women were crying, i put inside of my painting, the faces of rhythm from left to right, half-half-quater with echo-half-big-half-big-half-quater with echo-half-half and loop it. the angels up in the sky are two half-half stop and go chorus. mr piero was falling backwards into blackout. the only thing that the people saw, were his shoes on the roof. the firefighters put him on the roof and brought him down in the arms of his wife. his wife took him at home and i swear that the first thing what they did, was making love.

costanza, bancomat, gli interessi, piazza garraffello 

é il bancomat della banca nazion. l´unica banca in italia che non chiede soldi dalla eurozona. anzi gli interessi sono operazioni che sporcano ogni giorno la piazza. il giro dei soldi é caratteristico diciamo. la banca nazion é sempre chiusa, le finestre sono murate. il bancomat ti offre un investimento di 10€, allora le carte di valore, una edizione limitata di 1000 copie delle palermo icone. le palermo icone sono i miei cittadini preferiti, che non ci sono piú, perché sono le icone del mercato della vucciria. alla fine hai una edizione a casa che vale in 5 anni ca 100 fino a 150 €. hai stabilizzato la banca nazion. allora il bancomat e la banca nazion é una win-win situazione per la tua cittá.

BANCOMAT: 2016/ott/12 fino al dic/24 lun-dom h09-19
