Domenico Gnoli
Image
The performance on the stage has its reasons in the performance induced in thousands of separate minds and this second performance is no less prodigious than the first.
Domenico Gnoli
Image
I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.
Domenico Gnoli
Image
My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.
Domenico Gnoli
Image
I don't want to think that I am going to believe that I am a hell of a genius, or anything like that.
