Décollage

17 Sunday Sep 2017

Yet again, as I learn in Wikipedia, just how little did I know:

Décollage, in art, is the opposite of collage; instead of an image being built up of all or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, tearing away or otherwise removing, pieces of an original image.[1] The French word “décollage” translates into English literally as “take-off” or “to become unglued” or “to become unstuck”. Examples of Décollage include etrécissements and cut-up technique. A similar technique is the lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters underneath.

Lots of places are closed on Sunday.
But neither restaurants nor churches,
Two obvious sites of Italian worship,
Need justify their rights to a stay.

So unlike the last day in the spring,
When all I could do was take a photo
Of a photo, we enter Giovanni e Paolo
And devote ourselves to the coloring.

SS. Giovanni e Paolo (1174) with two hundred years of frescoes



Why Do I Wonder About the Clouds Only in Spoleto?

Perhaps it is the way the terraced hill frames the sky.


Or maybe it’s the way you can’t count on the weather.

On the Set of Don Matteo

Don Matteo, an Italian TV series, is presently being shot on location in Spoleto.
As the middle distance shot reveals, we missed our chance one day to be extras.

Our favorite haunt, unreachable today
Beyond the rail, an extra
Crowd control from the nearest civil servant

Look, everyone

a handstand!

In any order you wish to move around the screen: still points of a turning world.
