Art reverses the course of digital alienation: the graphic symbol (like emojis), used today to replace flesh and blood, returns to its original source. Picasso’s Guernica, the ultimate icon of 20th-century city bombings, rewinds the tape in AVATAR-RATAVA through an artistic regression from mouth to source. In a hyper-digitalized world, Marco Toso Borella’s work aims to restore the humanity of suffering, making it tangible once more and capable of generating authentic compassion in the face of the many bombings that followed Guernica.
