WHEN ARE YOU OPENING?
DD: September 27

WHERE?
DD: At KURA. in Milan

WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE SHOW?
DD: BLINDF’OLD

WHAT DOES BLINDF’OLD MEAN (AND WHY BLINDF’OLD AND NOT BLINDFOLD)?
DD: I don’t have an explanation for the title. Things happen

IS THIS A NEW PRODUCTION?
DD: Yes

DID YOU WORK AT THE VENUE?
DD: Yes

WHAT MEDIA DID YOU USE? DID YOU CREATE AT THE FOUNDRY?
DD: Objects, both made and found, and other different media. Foundry, yes, I’m working there

THE MASK IS A RECURRENT ELEMENT OF YOUR WORK. WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT FOR YOU?
DD: The presence of an absence, which is how I see art. The most interesting things are not visible. In the mask there is something about: “No more old blind folks.” (hey! maybe could be an element for the title?…)

IN YOUR PREVIOUS PRODUCTION YOU FOCUSED ON INTERSTICES (OF SPACE AND TIME). ARE INTERSTICES STILL PART OF YOUR INTERESTS AND YOUR RESEARCH?
DD: Yes, the double is great. It creates a body with contradiction. I work toward that direction. Always

BLINDNESS, REFLECTION, MIRRORS, THE IRIS, THE AMBIGUITY OF WHAT WE SEE AND WHAT WE DON’T, ARE ALL ELEMENTS WHICH YOU OFTEN REFER TO…
DD: Yes, it’s about the surface and the presence. Sometimes we just can’t explain, we can’t react to all the information we have. So blindness, as well as reflection, could help understand. The media, the nervous breakdown, the narcissism online…

WHAT WILL WE SEE (OR NOT SEE) AT THE EXHIBITION?

DD: I think life is better than art. But art makes life better. The only thing I can say is that we will see a representation of something interesting and we will know that this is impossible to represent.
