ODE TO A SAD BOY by Francesca Flora

22,00 €

The printed matter brings together a collection of poems written by Francesca Flora over the last few years, which functions as her first artist book. The work develops as a series of poetic reflections endeavouring to narrate the discomfort of the self together with its own unraveling, by alternating narratives of ephemeral sentimental grieving with niche descriptions of the daily.

In ODE TO A SAD BOY, Francesca Flora experiments with the parallel yet intersected tension between collective and individual affective experiences attempting to unhinge the binds of sentimental superiority, by becoming relatable through the juxtaposition of infantile poetic story-telling and deep dives that question sorrow and belonging.

Francesca Flora (Milan, 1994) is a writer and performer whose works pivot on the hinges of language and the human voice, which are considered as realms that activate and intertwine through their own affectivity and emotionality. Poetic-prosaic language is the central medium of her research, which develops through both individual practice and collaborations.
