When someone asks me "How are you?" I'm not sure what to reply. A few weeks ago, when posed the same question, orchestra director Ezio Bosso answered: "I rather more often ask myself how are the others doing... in this time without name." I find myself in line with his preoccupations, to which I would also add: "in this space without place". My closest family members live in Northern Italy, and Brazil and I live in London. This means that since the pandemic has unfolded I've been living in a schizophrenic state. Time has been running at different paces. Narratives went in parallel directions. Anxiety reached opposite peaks. I felt very disoriented.
When someone asks me "How are you?" most of the time I don't reply. When I do, I notice that I describe what catches my attention. The swinging branches of the tree on the other side of the road, the shadows that objects project on the table, the faded colour of the chairs on the terrace. I could go on describing. Not one thing, but many. As if I have to hook to as many elements as possible. As if all the different details that surround me were within me. So I can say "I am here". But also "you are here as well".
Keep strong.
