Clemen Parrocchetti, Il mio cuore / My heart, 1982; Video, color, sound; 10′; Edition of 10

I want to know my heart
I want to know my heart
I want to know my story
Yes
I want to know my story
I want to know my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
Enough
Enough
Enough
I do not want any more
I do not want any more
I don’t want to cry anymore
I don’t want to cry over that red blood smear anymore
of blood
of meat
I don’t want to be good anymore
No I don’t want to be good anymore, understanding, gentle, submissive
I don’t want to be submissive anymore
I want to be myself
Myself
I want to be myself
Myself
I too want to be a flower
I too want to be an artificial flower
Artificial
Artificial
Flower
Wings
Flower Wings
An artificial flower
I refuse stuffing
The stuffing
The stuffing
Even the love stuffing
Even the love stuffing
I too want to be a flower
I too want to be an artificial flower
Artificial
Artificial
If I am an artificial flower
Artificial
I will never wither
