Margherita Lazzati: dal 12 ottobre al 12 novembre
"La mia storia con Samuel Beckett a Portobello"
in esposizione a "You are here - Flaere Gallery LONDON"

Margherita Lazzati (b.1953, Milano) first saw Samuel Beckett in January 2007 on a Portobello wall; she followed him until his destruction in March 2010.

MIA STORIA Series

"This is a story that became the story of a life and a death, says Margherita. The second life and second death of a great man, Samuel Beckett.

Captured by the intensity of the expression of the graffiti by Alex Martinez, I slowly became his 'Godot': he was there, on this wall, and I, at each visit in London, felt expected.

And at each new visit, I found his face slightly changed, practically corroded, as if the disregard of the busy area destroyed him. Until the point that he became a victim of other graffiti artists.

The last time I met him, I remembered seeing a kind of graphical bruise at the corner of his eye announcing the final extinction of his intense gaze."
