Westmoreland Naples

Allen Ginsberg identified a fissure in the mass consciousness of the Americans, as it was a national underworld full of competitiveness, bombs bringing universal death, hostile bureaucracy, secret police systems, drugs paving the way to the gods, ships projected into space, unknown chemical terrors and tailor-made evil dreams suddenly erupted.
“I have an illness: I see language. What I should simply hear is revealed to me as a “vision” thanks to a strange, perverse impulse in which desire mistakes its object” wrote Roland Barthes and this is the figure of the Westmoreland Naples exhibition: The very close link between writing and vision, between poetry and photography, the experience of the written word that can be photographed and then read as an image.
A lysergic exhibition where celebrities reinterpret scenes from movies on a beatnik tone.
