With “Here we are” the English artist Kid Acne confronts us with an observation that becomes an invitation. The space dedicated to him was conceived as an hypothetical square where the spectator meets other people, opening a dialogue. Here we are, urges the artist, is an invitation to dialogue and to reason on the concept of heritage, a concept that belongs to us as a community. Below the surface of this evanescent invitation, the writing in English suddenly turns into a message that comes from the past: “HEREDITAS”. We do not know whether it is the present, through the inscription “HERE WE ARE”, that has erased it, or if it is strongly re-emerging as if to communicate the dual nature, ephemeral and eternal, of our heritage. At the margins of the great inscription are two warrioress, modern gladiators symbolically placed in defense of the work and the spectator.
