“The unicorn’s origins are barely known. Their roots were lost while distracted generations of human beings followed one another. What happens in the collective imagination when a mythological figure appears without a myth that founds and justifies its existence? A fragile and eradicated symbol comes into existence. I want to give them love, a story, a choice. I, Chiara Bersani, 98 cm tall, I self-proclaim the flesh, muscles and bones of the unicorn, I’ll take the responsibly for welcoming its long-standing bewilderment”.
