In Benedetto hominis was a performance related to the Pope's visit in Florence, done on the same day of his visit. I was dressed as a Lolita doll, the personification of the 'lavanda' The woman who washes the feet as Mary Magdalene did when she washed the feet of Jesus.
The juxtaposition of the Madonna and the whore becomes one, challenging the concept of the pious woman.
I walked through the center with a cart offering the sacred gesture to the people. I stopped for an hour next to the cathedral square, where he was visiting the church, and washed the feet of a collaborating friend. People were curious but no one dared to sit down.
Moving away from the square walking towards the square of the Santa Santissima Annunciation, where the Pope would arrive on his white vehicle, I was stopped by the police several times asking me to remove my mask, not being allowed to cover my face.
