Shity Virus

lockdown in Milan

Milan, 8th march 2020.
First of 69 days of lockdown due to a poo virus.
The town locks itself in, I shut myself in the bathroom.
And that’s how my anti-hero is born, Shity Virus. My imaginary friend during the lockdown days.
Among the sink and the toilet.
The bathroom turns into a set of an absurd little theatre of irony.
After all, it is all about resiliency. So I sublimate with toilet paper.
Shity Virus talks to me, looks at me, winks at me, disguises as my childhood and present favorite characters.
All the fears, the anxieties, the unknown emotions due to that absurd quarantine time fade into a fantastic world.
And finally, I’m him. I jump over the bounds of imagination and get into the Shity Virus world becoming him a camera around my toilet. Ops, I meant my neck.

PS: let’s hope to flush the toilet as soon as possible to clean up all this mess...
