CHIUDI GLI OCCHI E POI VEDI - FILIPPO SORCINELLI

What a fairground of lights life is!
Lights that make me close my eyes.
Too hard to bear.
If I close my eyes, I feel a shadow of a smile,
I shiver and my heart races.

Life amuses itself.
Quelle image de solitude blanche !
Quel masque de tears and funny smells.
We are fixed and dilated pupils that smile without enthusiasm.
Sorrow.

We fear what we cannot identify,
even if it is something familiar.
We worry about not recognizing
la danse d'un visage ancien.

Sadness of time and history. Dance, play, deceive.
A friendly smile, a discordant note. A distant echo of mud and guts.

Close your eyes because in the darkness you can see, your thoughts come closer and deepen.
And that face that distorts mine is back. Memories.
Not everything is as it seems.

Close your eyes now,
scary mask,
âme perdue,
you eat peace instead of seeking it.
Trembling heart of a lost man.
He wants courage to run around him without meaning.

Appearances can be deceiving.


La peur des clowns, also called coulrophobia, is a relatively common and often misunderstood phobia.
This fear can manifest at varying degrees of intensity, ranging from mild discomfort to paralyzing terror, and is believed to be deeply rooted in the human psyche.

La figure of the clown is historically associated with pleasure and entertainment, dating back to medieval jesters and harlequins of artistic comedy. However, its grotesque appearance, with exaggerated makeup that distorts facial features, can create a feeling of ambiguity and uncertainty. This distortion can lead people to perceive clowns as unsettling characters, their appearance not matching common human behaviors.

Psychology suggests that the fear of clowns may stem from the difficulty in reading true emotions behind heavy makeup. We generally tend to decipher facial expressions to understand the intentions of others. When this ability is compromised, as is the case with clowns, it can generate
of anxiety and fear. The often unpredictable behavior of clowns can contribute to a feeling of unease.

Popular culture has amplified the fear of these characters through negative and frightening portrayals. A notable example is the character Pennywise, the evil clown from
roman "It" by Stephen King, which has terrified generations of readers and viewers and is the inspiration behind the thirteenth fragrance in the UNUM collection.

La coulrophobia, now also developed in olfaction with Filippo Sorcinelli, is a kind of culmination of research on the deep meaning of fear, started with the perfume "but not today" in 2018 and continued last year with "né il giorno né l'ora". It can have a significant impact on the daily lives of those affected. Common situations, such as children's birthdays or circus shows, can become sources of stress and anxiety. In extreme cases, the mere sight of a clown can trigger a panic reaction.

Ambiguity, a true lagoon of thoughts, clumsy movements, covered with art, project our anxiety, refine our faces, and describe wickedness.

But authentic art acts on the facade of malice just as it acts on the soul. It alone produces this short circuit capable of undoing what induces the negative aspect of malice. Art describes negativity without limiting or exaggerating it. It describes it because exposing it allows the question of Beauty to take precedence, even in negative situations. Someone must be bad, but only the other can circumscribe their limits on the path of solitude.

And only then will the center of evil become a social construct.
