What does unique mean for the man of the twentieth century. What is its relation with time, with moments that do not come back. The necessity of man to leave his mark on Time, to express unique sentiments through art, to mold the materials of nature, to give them a different meaning. How long can the "unique" piece of art last in an era of over-consuption, favoring the ephemeral? Passing from the unique to the multiple copies and the mass production. The different "uniqueness" of a culture based on machines and robots. The twentieth century, a huge symphony of machines defining a different behavior facing life and death. The peculiar co-existence of the Unique and the Multiple in the end of the twentieth century through the contradictory narration of one man-observer. |
