This was the place where, in a handful of weeks, I would have opened my exhibition CONSERVATION. The very first thought was drenched in pain. Reading the first posts on Facebook, the sharing of drama, the overflowing of emojis, the racist comments on what is going to built there instead, the uncountable “do you remember…”, the race to crown which memory is the best one, mine or yours?… all of the above took me straight back to 1976, to the days and weeks after the earthquake.
