I had the chance to meet Chiara Fumai in the early 2000s in Milan, a time when the vast majority of young people were slashers, multiplying jobs and activities out of obligation but also because they didn’t want to choose. Chiara didn’t escape this modus operandi: she mixed at parties she organized, designing flyers, editing videos, drawing bags, provoking a lot of encounters, with a mixture of intensity and crazy lightness, which I rarely found again afterwards. This selection is taken from her record collection, the ones she listened to and mixed in the 2000s: crazy, sad, electronic, cheap and romantic albums, a bit in her image.
In closing this little message, I think of the poet Nicolas de Chamfort who opposed the reasonable ones who last to the passionate ones who live, I don’t have many doubts about the option Chiara chose.
