Bulythèque

La stagione dell’agape è aperta! È senz’altro questo il luogo ideale per i migliori momenti di festa, quelli che lasciano un ricordo indelebile nella memoria: a tavola. Non è un caso che in Francia si parli di Arte della tavola.

Quest’estate, l’Officine ti accompagna nelle terre di Buly lungo un percorso di estraniamento geografico e semantico totale. Dalla lettura scaturisce la curiosità, dalla curiosità il fervore.  

È esclusivamente nostro, eppure è offerto al mondo: il viso non è solo la somma di elementi percepiti e imposti: una fronte, un naso, una bocca, un occhio e poi due... È questa "eccezionale presentazione di sé da parte di sé" (Emmanuel Levinas, Totalità e infinito). Così il viso si manifesta agli altri, a pieno e volontariamente, e per questo Officine Universelle Buly sente l'obbligo di dedicarvisi a lungo e prendersene grande cura. Da questa attenzione tutta particolare alla realtà nascerà l’attenzione per la sua rappresentazione, perché dal viso traspaiono i sentimenti. Testimone della sua stessa storia, attore del proprio momento presente, il viso ha la capacità di raccontare il vissuto dell'essere e l'abisso dell'apparire... è il vero specchio dell'anima. 

Qual è il fiore più bello fra tutti? Certo, la mamma! E poiché il suo profumo ci resta nel cuore sin dal primo vagito, lusinghiamo la mamma con pensieri profumati, come una giornata odorosa di nettari floreali. Un bouquet di pensieri delicati, più affettuosi di omaggi riciclati e meno astrusi di poemi stiracchiati.  

“The garden is the smallest parcel of the world, and the, it is the totality of the world” wrote Michel Foucault in 1967 in “Espace Autres” (Of Other Spaces) …

Since the inauguration of the Julian calendar, January has tirelessly and always been marked by a questioning of the self, the superego and the aspiration for a new beginning. After the long lists of December, the beloved resolutions are born, and with them the universal game of “unravelling to resolve”. A resolvere molto importante. Lastly, the letting go of the past to open the ground for possibilities towards the future.

Never has the sky been so blue, so deep, so fierce with heat. On the side of the road, the burning wind makes her hair swirl. Her delicate gaze is hidden behind her sunglasses. She’s waiting, standing next to her glinting car. Her husband is sitting inside. Patient. She waves, from afar. She smiles coyly, putting on her relaxed face. She speaks English with a seductive accent. She says: Good morning, I’m Maria, let me explain a few things to you, please pay attention. She looks like she’s not kidding. She’s a representative of the Greek Ministry of Tourism. She specifies that this is neither a game nor a hobby. She explains very seriously that this trip to Mount Athos is like a secret mission, without saying any more about its mysteries and its different stages.

A spectacular phenomenon that appears in the skies when the sun shines during a downpour, the rainbow has always fascinated by its beauty, its elusiveness and above all, its mystery. Literally forming a majestic bridge of light between earth and sky, it has inspired beliefs and religions across the world.

The link between Queen of Crime Agatha Christie and the world of beauty seems tenuous at first, but if you look at her beginnings as a novelist, it starts making sense. In 1966, she told the New York Times: "I got my plots in the tub, (…) just sitting there thinking, undisturbed, and lining the rim with apple cores." Hot baths did indeed bring her inspiration, the fruit of her imagination then scribbled in notebooks she scrupulously left in her bathroom and every room of her home, Greenway House, in Devon. The result? 66 crime novels, of which more than two billion copies were sold worldwide.
