GIAMPIERO MARCOCCI
Giancarlo

Giancarlo suffers from a disabling psychiatric disease, in his case now chronic, which makes relationships with others, contact with himself and with the world around him difficult.

He is a sensitive man, with his simple life, marked by interior rhythms and free from the conventions of modernity. He is an artist who uses his creations to express fears and criticalities, but also to affirm his points of view, his convictions.

Giancarlo is simply a free man, even if this freedom must necessarily cost him a continuous internal swing that is difficult to identify, and tries to adapt himself to a world that perhaps is going fast, is asking too much, is tiring.

I wanted to tell about his loneliness and highlight how often invisible and silent suffering is hidden in discomfort. I wanted to highlight and enhance the world of people suffering from mental disabilities.

One cannot help but think of the stigma that today is still associated with serious mental illnesses.
