About
"If I were fire n.2" is a collage with photos of a big bonfire. The work refers to the poetry of Cecco Angiolieri "If I were Foco". The poet Cecco Angiolieri (Siena 1260-1313 BC) imagines that he can transform himself into fire, wind, water and death to destroy everything around him. His protest against the world and his rebellion against common morality are effectively rendered by the use of rhetorical figures, exaggerations and absurd hypotheses.
After having vented his bad mood, Cecco Angiolieri eventually plays down his violent tone by stating that he will continue to be what he has always been: a harmless reckless. "If I Were Fire n.2" belongs to the series "Imprisoned Brains" which deals with a number of aspects of mankind's everyday insanity of today. The series speaks about the man who managed to shape the world so much that he is now stamped on and imprisoned by it.

Profumo Marina
Marina Profumo was born in Ceranesi, province of Genoa. She studied business administration but soon began to devote herself to painting.
She can mix different materials, she never gets tired of deep artistic instigation with her ironic and acute gaze, ranging between different fields, economics, politics, religion, environment. Her style is personal, far from localism and current. A constant denunciation through experimentation of different materials and languages without ever reaching a definitive goal, to be in continuous evolution.
A journey that begins in silence. Only at the end of the nineties, she decides that the moment of confrontation with the public has come. She exhibits in Italian cities such as Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Florence and abroad such as Stockholm, Chicago, Copenhagen, Prague, Uppsala, Berlin, London.
Her works were published in magazines and catalogues in the sector. She currently lives and works in Genoa, Italy.
