"How to make an illegal action interact with a content that coincides with it?" Sara Leghissa’s practice has always been investigating the space in between the inside and outside, the street and the stage, the public and the political, the legal and the illegal. The current situation that deprived theaters, museums and festivals of their audience, has somehow created another “in between”—namely the digital and the real space, for whatever that means. Here, she reflects on the concept of mimicry and what it means to take up a certain space to make things visible.

Consider the action carried out on Montanelli’s sculpture: pink paint was poured over his statue, over his image. The visibility that illegality brings about has been made explicit, making this visibility a work of art.”
