PLEASE INSERT COIN.
A monolithic concrete arcade cabinet, opened like a book, playing the real life.
A sad and nihilistic workstation, portrays a long and heavy bureaucratic administration.
(The stamp sitting on the desk, it’s a stamp from the 70's marked “Esteemed Pensions Department”).
Life and death like a videogame, at the end of the game there’s a new screen where you can play the next game, and everything gets more complicated.
A cat sat, sleeps, not caring about that his life’s on the line.
A concrete light bulb, mute, hanging over the chair/work station/ private spot.
A sheet and a pen (made of concrete) are sitting on the table, like somebody who’s not present has just finished to write.
Please insert coin it’s almost a begging letter.
A concrete hat contains coins, mostly cents, portrays how often we have to raise spare change to make ends meet, rather then living our own life.
A calendar, reports dates consumed by time of a month and year not reported, where days are all the same.
Real Life is the game of the real life.
Playing to our own life or giving up to its most grotesque aspects?

PLEASE INSERT COIN
Un monolitico arcade cabinet in cemento, aperto a libro, interpreta la vita reale.
Una postazione di lavoro triste e nichilista, dipinge un’amministrazione burocratica lunga e pesante
(il timbro appoggiato sulla scrivania è un timbro degli anni '70 con su scritto spett.le INPS).
La vita e la morte come in un videogame, alla fine della partita c'è un nuovo schermo in cui giocare la successiva,
e tutto è sempre più complicato.
Un gatto accovacciato dorme, indifferente del fatto che ci sia in gioco il suo essere.
Una lampadina di cemento, muta, pende sopra alla sedia/postazione di lavoro/ambiente privato.
Un foglio e una penna (di cemento) sono appoggiati sul tavolo, come se un personaggio non presente avesse appena finito di scrivere.
Please insert coin è quasi una richiesta di elemosina.
Un cappello di cemento contenente monetine da pochi centesimi, rappresenta quanto spesso si è costretti a raccogliere quattro spiccioli per sbarcare il lunario, anziché vivere la propria vita.
Un calendario, riporta date consumate dal tempo di un mese e un anno non segnalati, in cui tutti i giorni sono uguali.
Real Life è il gioco della vita reale.
Giocare alla propria vita o arrendersi ai suoi aspetti più grotteschi?
