Kosuth has chosen for his installation Doble Passage, along the Vittorio Emanuele I Bridge, two neon writings reproducing quotes by Italo Calvino and Friedrich Nietzsche from Invisible Cities and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, respectively. Both philosophers, who loved Turin and identified themselves with the city, announce philosophical considerations through metaphors about the bridge. Nietzsche: \u201cWhat is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an OVER-GOING and a DOWN-GOING. I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers. I love the great despisers, because they are the great adorers, and arrows of longing for the other shore.\u201d Calvino:\u00a0 \u201cMarco Polo describes a bridge, stone by stone. &#8216;But which is the stone that supports the bridge?&#8217; Kublai Khan asks. &#8216;The bridge is not supported by one stone or another,&#8217; Marco answers, &#8216;but by the line of the arch that they form.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds: &#8216;Why do you speak to me of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me.&#8217; Polo answers: &#8216;Without stones there is no arch\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>?? L\u2019artista ha scelto per la sua installazione, lungo il ponte Vittorio Emanuele I ai Murazzi, due scritte al neon che riproducono frasi di Italo Calvino e di Friedrich Nietzsche, tratte rispettivamente da <em>Le citt\u00e0 invisibili<\/em> e da <em>Cos\u00ec parl\u00f2 Zarathustra<\/em>. Nelle frasi, i due scrittori, che amarono Torino e che s&#8217;identificarono con la citt\u00e0, fanno considerazioni filosofiche attraverso metafore sul ponte. Nietzsche: \u201cLa grandezza dell\u2019uomo \u00e8 di essere un ponte e non uno scopo: nell\u2019uomo si pu\u00f2 amare che egli sia una transizione e un tramonto. Io amo coloro che non sanno vivere se non tramontano, poich\u00e9 essi sono una transizione. Io amo gli uomini del grande disprezzo, perch\u00e9 essi sono anche gli uomini della grande venerazione e frecce che anelano all\u2019altra riva\u201d. Calvino: \u201cMarco Polo descrive un ponte, pietra per pietra. Ma qual \u00e8 la pietra che sostiene il ponte? Chiede Kublai Kan. Il ponte non \u00e8 sostenuto da questa o quella pietra, risponde Marco, ma dalla linea dell\u2019arco che esse formano. Kublai Kan rimane silenzioso, riflettendo. Poi soggiunge: Perch\u00e9 mi parli delle pietre? \u00c8 solo dell\u2019arco che m\u2019importa\u201d.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JOSEPH KOSUTH (Toledo, United States, 1945) Doppio Passaggio Ponte Vittorio Emanuele I (Circoscrizione 1) ??
