Games in the Forest Installation Dodecá 2011 The imaginary games in the forest proposed by Claudia Anselmi are far from being trivial. They are very strict games. For the record, I said strict and not serious, nor solemn, nor circumspect. Magic and wonder always exclude the presence of these bitter fairies that I have just mentioned. Good magic, born from marvel and astonishment, piercing through the boredom of reality, is never serious. Wonder, this elusive state the fleetingly lights up the soul is never solemn, is never associated with pompous galas or extravagant formalities. It happens in the almost intangible and tenuous territories of the poetic. Deep and lasting fascination is never circumspect. It is never cautious nor hides under the bemused armour of decorum, of oppressive and bothersome correctness. But, perhaps one of the notable advantages of the games that Claudia Anselmi offers is that, furthermore, she de-dramatizes them. Alfredo Torres Curator
