Daria Deflorian and Azzurra D’Agostino revisit an artistic and personal relationship that began in 2008 with Bianco, a performance inspired by D’Agostino’s poetry. Through writing, performance, and mutual listening, the encounter explores friendship as a space of influence, transformation, and the shared generation of artistic practices.

Francesco Fiorentino and Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli explore the friendship between Robert Walser and Carl Seelig: the Swiss writer who gave up writing during his years of institutionalisation, and the journalist who became his interlocutor, companion on walks, guardian, and eventually biographer. Through their own friendship, Fiorentino and Ferlazzo Natoli revisit the Walser–Seelig archive as a means of transmission, examining how friendship generates memory, survival, and forms of thought.
