"Afrika belongs to me, is in my memory for a long time, I made a tattoo on my skin, I write and convert in my memory in fabrics, real webs full of years and strong suggestions, rituals, mark of magic -writes Golin- Afrika is a scripture in the wind, so is better its magical k, will clots better on canvas sewn, scrolls of memories and experiences. I wish it were a skin full of marks, hermetic signs, indelible fingerprint of labytinth and constellations."
"The character who climbed on the platform of my research is that Medea by Euripides and that of Pasolini. I tried to express the attraction that arouse in me the divine barbaric ancient, especially that of the rites and magic, the enchanting beauty of places in harmony, without perversion and deception, authentically entrusted to the embrace of nature, and I knew that nobody has desecrated. Are the places and the dawn of the sacred rites and human, filled with anxiety and mystery, between life and death, between dream and poetry, bitter or sweet. My paintings-sculpture, on Medea's story, female and male, inseparably, are filled with totem, scriptures, nodes, lines, often interrupted, teetering between what is definable or barely noticeable or unknown."
Medea, dignity and deceit. Theatrical representation of the homonymous artist's exhibition
La terra degli Etiopi nubiani era nera, faticata dall'aratro tirato dai grandi buoi color cenere, con una cintura di montagne aspre, oltre le quali era terra deserta:steppe inabitate a perdita d'occhio.
Terra benedetta dall'oblio degli dei rissosi, quasi inaccessibile per coloro che venivano dal mare, lontana molti giorni di viaggio, le città erano di fango e di canne, i villaggi aggrappati ai fianchi di alture cretacee, villaggi di pastori e di contadini che addomesticavano la notte coi tamburi e i fuochi.
I giovani guerrieri spiano le fanciulle ammaestrate all'arte di sedurre e alla tenerezza amorosa; esse hanno occhi grandi, hanno sorrisi ricchi, lucenti di avorio giovane: all'improvviso trasformano il loro canto in cicaleccio strepitante, seminano nell'aria un odore forte, danzano, gemono, intrecciano e tessono le loro trame ambigue, corrono e strisciano, tracciando solchi nella terra e si graffiano il petto di ebano e le guance sudate, e, nelle piaghe inguaribili, cresce l'affanno e stilla il sangue, una rete inestricabile, fatta di maglie annodate di grumi di polvere rossa, senza timore di una colpa primitiva.
