the virus and mental health


I took this shot outside a side entrance to the assisted living facility for people with mental health issues inside San Salvi Park. With the chair oriented towards the sun, it is clearly a favorite lounging spot, now decorated with a painting on a square of white sheet. The colorful circles in the painting I thought represented the virus and the horse reminded me of "Marco Cavallo". Marco Cavallo was a papier mâché horse, a collective work representing the Basaglia movement, which back in the '70s strove for reform of mental health facilities in Italy. The movement eventually led to the permanent shut down of insane asylums and Marco Cavallo has remained, for people with mental health issues, a symbol of their rights to dignity and appropriate care. I wonder if the constraints of the pandemic inspired the painter or painters here to once again reflect on these issues.

Assolutamente non preoccuparti dei ritardi. Anch'io sono alquanto discontinua nella frequentazione. Ma soprattutto anch'io percepisco una sensibilità nelle tue immagini a cui mi sento molto vicina. Mi fa molto piacere che il sentimento sia comune!
Buona serata e buon fine settimana.
