Hari Om
Dear Linda,
In 3 of the 108 upanishad
(namely Hamsa, Dhyanabindu, and Varaha)
it is written that the jiva,
the individual soul,
utters Ham-sa mantra
21,600 times in one day and one night.

         21,600     breaths in one day
   7,884,000     breaths in one year
631,130,400     breaths in 80 years (including the 19 leap year extra days)

We could measure the passing of time with our breaths.
We could keep count of breaths, not years.
Breathing keeps us alive.
And when we die,
breathing changes and exits our body.

So, here
dear Linda
dear like a sister-in-performance-art
dear like a timeless fellow jiva
I want to offer you one of my breaths
and wish you HAPPY BREATH-DAY.

[Action with lingua di Menelik]

Intro

The conceptualisation of this performance comes from a long reflection that binds different experiences I have lived and are united by a single element, the breath.

As a yoga teacher I have learned several breath control techniques.

As a meditation practitioner I have learned to become aware of MY breath.

As an artist I have dedicated myself to an ephemeral artistic language that - free from
materialism and consumerist logic - lives only in the same moment of the breath,
the present one.

As a mother I listened to the first breath of my two children.

As a daughter, I listened to my mother's last breaths.

These experiences have profoundly marked me in their diversity and impacted my life in an incisive and decisive way for my future choices.


Seed

The seed for the conceptualisation of this performance was planted last year, when I started suffering from paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Mouthful word to describe breathing difficulties similar to a sort of hunger for air.

In particular, this breathing difficulty occurs at night, while I sleep, and tends to resolve itself when, from lying down, I assume an upright, sitting position (and then it takes the name orthopnea, from the Greek ortho, straight and pneo, breath).

I have read the science, but why does this orthopnea terrify me the moment it assaults me?

I think I have found the right answer in the connection with the last exhalation that I will do in my life and that will accompany the moment of passing away, and is therefore connected to the fear of death, of not being here anymore.

On the other hand, in its most basic and elementary form, life is a succession of breaths: hundreds of years ago some Upanishads spoke of an average of 20,000 breaths per day, for a total of almost 700 million breaths for an average life of 80 years, (also confirmed by Western science).

But what is breathing? It is a gas exchange, and is divided into the two phases of inhalation and exhalation.

We begin life with an IN-spiration and end it with an EX-piration. A cycle that begins and ends


How do you know when a loved one is about to die?

Suomenlimna, Helsinki, Finland, 17 November 2013.
"-Ready? Daniela?

-Hello mom. How are you?

-The time has come, I think. This time, yes ...

-Okay mom. I'm in Helsinki. I'm looking for a flight to Milan and I'm coming. Wait for me. "

No. Our brief conversation did not go as I read it.
I barely remember it.
The only thing I know for sure is that my mother's breathing had changed.
She gasped, it was hard for her to breathe, as if where she was, there was no more air to breathe ... as if she were on another planet, an astronaut whose helmet had broken and the lack of air was suffocating her ...

How do you know when a loved one is about to die?

On 4 November 2013 I get a similar phone call.

I just finished a performance art festival which had been very complex and difficult.

On 6 November I leave Singapore with my 9-year-old son.

After 12 hours we arrive in Milan, 4 hours later we are with her.
We spent what we believed to be his last days together. Instead she recovered.
On 13 November we return to Singapore. Our life had been there for many years.

On 17 November I left for Helsinki for a performance art festival to which I had been invited.

My partner at the time convinced me that it would be better to be in Helsinki than in Singapore.

I was closest to the hospice near Brescia, where my mother was staying.
I had to continue with my life, but to be able to drop everything and reach her.

How do you know when a loved one is about to die?
Sunday 17 November I arrive in Helsinki.
In the afternoon, I get your call.

I look for flights immediately. There are no more flights to Milan.

We have to wait until the next day, Monday 18 November.
There are two flights, one early in the morning (8:30?) and one in the afternoon (16:30?).

I am tired. The divorce. The travel to Italy every two months. My son, my friends and art comfort me.

I decide for the second flight.
When I leave Helsinki she is still alive.
But when I arrive at the hospice, after the taxi at 1:00 pm, the plane, the shuttle, the train, another taxi, at 9:00 pm, my mother has already breathed out ... her last breath.
And I didn't make it, I was late.


How do you know when a loved one is about to die?

Those close to death will spend most of their time sleeping.
They may not be able to communicate when they are awake because their senses are abandoning them. However, they will still be able to hear: hearing is the last sense to go away.
Physical signs that death is near include:
- a sudden charge of energy
- mottled and mottled skin, especially on the hands, feet and knees, as blood pressure decreases
- difficulty swallowing
- less urine
- restlessness
- congested lungs
- difficult breathing
Prior to death, a change in the person's breathing pattern may be noted.

Specifically, dyspnea - defined as shortness of breath or perceived difficulty in breathing - predicts mortality and is also an indicator of certain diseases, mostly affecting the heart and lungs.

In addition, there may be periods of rapid breathing followed by short periods of not breathing. This phenomenon is known as Cheyne-Stokes respiration and is very common at the end of life.
There may also be sounds of chest congestion and throat noises. Pharyngeal secretions or the inefficiency of the throat muscles cause a particular and noisy breathing, also called the rattle of death: in practice, the loved one can no longer expectorate or swallow the secretions.
Hearing the sound thus produced could cause upset to those close to the dying person, but it is certainly comforting to know that it does not cause them any suffering. Changing their position or using medications to dry the secretions can minimise the noise. This treatment is to comfort the family or caregivers, because agonal breathing occurs when the patient cannot realise it. It can continue for hours and often means that death will occur within hours or days.

"During 2020 I often had the image of my head being replaced by a scribble: the confusion, the feeling of being lost, the sensation of being unable to make the next step or to even identify the direction where to turn to, appeared to me visually as a scribble, with curved lines hovering around a centre that felt like a black hole sucking me in.
This performance is the realisation of that image, and doing it meant to feel that sense of claustrophobia that closes in without allowing me to escape anywhere."

"Una camminata performativa avrà luogo al Portico d'Ottavia, area dell'antico quartiere ebraico, fortemente evocativa della segregazione che fu imposta agli ebrei. Luogo di incontro fra comunità e religioni diverse ma profondamente integrate. Vuole essere un'azione artistica in ricordo di Pippa Bacca e del suo messaggio di pace che si farà corpo attraverso le performer. L'azione si svolgerà sul ponticello, icona del rione Sant'Angelo, simbolo di scambio e dialogo. Sacralità e purezza si manifesteranno durante la performance, il senso dell'atto verrà donato fisicamente ai presenti nella forma di un giglio bianco e oro, unendo pubblico e artiste in un unico gesto. Le performer saranno vestite di bianco e si muoveranno idealmente verso Piazza Gerusalemme senza arrivare alla meta: il cammino verso la pace è lungo e non raggiunto, solo insieme si potrà progredire."

Gl’Italiani hanno voluto far un’Italia nuova, e loro rimanere gl’Italiani vecchi di prima, colle dappocaggini e le miserie morali che furono ab antico il loro retaggio; perché pensano a riformare l’Italia, e nessuno s’accorge che per riuscirci bisogna, prima, che riformare sé stesso, perché l’Italia, come tutti i popoli, non potrà divenir nazione, non potrà esser ordinata, ben amministrata, forte così contro lo straniero come contro i settari dell’interno, libera e di propria ragione, finché grandi e piccoli e mezzani, ognuno nella sua sfera non faccia il suo dovere, e non lo faccia bene, od almeno il meglio che può. Ma a fare il proprio dovere, il più delle volte fastidioso, volgare, ignorato, ci vuol forza di volontà e persuasione che il dovere si deve adempiere non perché diverte o frutta, ma perché è dovere; e questa forza di volontà, questa persuasione, è quella preziosa dote che con un solo vocabolo si chiama carattere, onde per dirla in una parola sola, il primo bisogno d’Italia è che si formino gli Italiani dotati d’alti e forti caratteri. E pur troppo si va ogni giorno verso il polo opposto: pur troppo s’è fatta l’Italia, ma non si fanno gl’Italiani.

Ah serva Italia, di dolore ostello,

Non popolo arabo, non popolo balcanico, non popolo antico,
ma nazione vivente, ma nazione europea:
e cosa sei? Terra di infanti, affamati, corrotti,
governanti impiegati di agrari, prefetti codini,
avvocatucci unti di brillantina e i piedi sporchi,
funzionari liberali carogne come gli zii bigotti,

Milioni di piccoli borghesi come milioni di porci
pascolano sospingendosi sotto gli illesi palazzotti,
tra case coloniali scrostate ormai come chiese.
Proprio perché tu sei esistita, ora non esisti,
proprio perché fosti cosciente, sei incosciente.
E solo perché sei cattolica, non puoi pensare
che il tuo male è tutto male: colpa di ogni male.
​Sprofonda in questo tuo bel mare, libera il mondo.

Rosatio in Latin means to decorate with roses, during the pagan festivity Rosalia (festival of the roses) in commemoration of the dead.

The flower is here re-contextualised to celebrate all the women who "decorated" the life of others and died with their aspirations unspoken and potential unfulfilled.

Coffee (qahwa) is the most loved and consumed beverage in Italy. Once known as the "devil's drink" due to its Muslim origin, in the early 1600s Pope Clement VIII ruled in favour of it and allowed Catholics to consume it. This decreed the birth and spread of the coffee shop, which over the years became a place not only for convivial aggregation, but also for meetings by cultured men, writers, philosophers and politicians. In 1992 the philosopher Marc Sautet began a series of Sunday meetings at the Café des Phares in Paris to advertise his new philosophical consulting firm. The popularity of the meetings in which philosophical themes were dealt with, and to which an increasing number of participants flocked, decreed the rediscovery of the philosophical café, in vogue in France in the 1700s. Subsequently, in 1995, Sautet published the book Un café pour Socrate, in which he suggests how philosophy can teach us to understand today's world. Inspired by the popularity of the café philo, widespread in France and other parts of the world, but non-existent in Italy, Daniela proposed to the patrons of the caffè to start a discussion on the big questions of life, in exchange for an espresso. The sitter could propose the question or picked up one randomly from the colourful cards. At the end s/he chose a word to give Daniela and walk away with.

"In performance art we can use ordinary objects in a different way from the ordinary and share them with others, generating images, sensations, reflections, even beauty. The artist's intention guides his actions, and while they are taking place, the original intention is accompanied by the myriad of reactions and interpretations of the spectator. Unity generates multiplicity, and right and wrong lose their reason for being. "

"Kāla in Sanskrit means time.
Time unfolds through our daily actions, performed out of habit, automatically or simultaneously with others, all functional to the purposes of our ego. We have learned that from A to B one has to move in the shortest possible time and with the least expenditure of energy. Thus, blinded, rather than guided, by our final purpose, life flows through our hands and never returns.
The simple gesture of pouring water into a container, functional to our desire to drink, is broken up into temporal fragments which manifest themselves in double micro-actions: sucking the drop and releasing it. Water enters the container with our growing awareness, and slowly we also become aware of what keeps us alive: the breath."

"Lo, an old hag, seated among girls, performs rites in honour of Tacita63 (“the Silent Goddess”), but herself is not silent. With three fingers she puts three lumps of incense under the threshold, where the little mouse has made for herself a secret path. Then she binds enchanted threads together with dark lead, and mumbles seven black beans in her mouth; and she roasts in the fire the head of a small fish which she has sewed up, made fast with pitch, and pierced through and through with a bronze needle. She also drops wine on it, and the wine that is left over she or her companions drink, but she gets the larger share. Then as the goes off she says, “We have bound fast hostile tongues and unfriendly mouths.” So exit the old woman drunk."
Ovid, Fasti, II, 571-582

"At once you will ask of me, “Who is the goddess Muta (‘the Mute’)?” Hear what I learned from the old men gone in years. Conquered by exceeding love of Juturna, Jupiter submitted to many things which so great a god ought not to bear. For now she would hide in the woods among the hazel-thickets, now she would leap down into her sister waters. The god called together all the nymphs who dwell in Latium, and thus in the midst of the troop he spake aloud: “Your sister is her own enemy, and shuns that union with the supreme god which is all for her good. Pray look to her interests and to mine, for what is a great pleasure to me will be a great boon to your sister. When she flees, stop her on the edge of the bank, lest she plunge into the water of the river.” He spake. Assent was given by all the nymphs of Tiber and by those who haunt, Ilia divine,
64 thy wedding bowers. It chanced there was a Naiad nymph, Lara by name; but her old name was the first syllable repeated twice, and that was given her to mark her failing.65 Many a time Almo66 had said to her, “My daughter, hold thy tongue,” but hold it she did not. No sooner did she reach the pools of her sister Juturna than, “Fly the banks,” said she, and reported the words of Jupiter. She even visited Juno and, after expressing her pity for married dames, “Your husband,” quoth she, “is in love with the Naiad Juturna.” Jupiter fumed and wrenched from her the tongue she had used so indiscreetly. He also called for Mercury. “Take her to the deadland,” said he, “that’s the place for mutes. A nymph she is, but a nymph of the infernal marsh she’ll be.” The orders of Jupiter were obeyed. On their way they came to a grove: then it was, they say, that she won the heart of her divine conductor. He would have used force; for want of words she pleased with a look, and all in vain she strove to speak with her dumb lips. She went with child, and bore twins, who guard the cross-roads and ever keep watch in our city: they are the Lares."
