NOTE:

An elegant leather bag with pockets for a racket and tennis balls is the objet trouvé that makes up this work. As Mauri explains in an interview with Achille Bonito Oliva: ‘In my work, phenomenology is reintroduced in several ways: the first is in the titles […] Second: the acquisition of already concluded objects (a bicycle, a snuff box, a record) as solids of historical phenomenology. The objects are magnets of history, their historical denunciation immediate.1
