La Mia Prima Leziona (2007)
In La Mia Prima Lezione (My First Lesson) the artist draws on her childhood memory of learning to write at a time at school in Australia, when Italian was her first language. The book works its way through letters which finally make the sentence: scusi non capicso niente (sorry, I don’t understand anything) and shows how one can be taught without understanding.

Cavalieri.Published for exhibition Lessons in History Vol. 1 held at grahame galleries + editions March/April 200&.
