Cesare Catania rappresenta un paesaggio metafisico. La scena principale e' rappresentata da un uomo che gioca a scacchi contro se stesso. A sinistra una clessidra di sabbia scandisce il tempo mentre a destra un alfiere gigante fa da giuria durante la partita. La scena si gioca nei pressi di un burrone. Sullo sfondo vengono rappresentate montagne lunari e un sole tondo, invadente nella forma ma flebile nella luminosità. Sull'orlo del burrone la presenza di una eco rappresentata simbolicamente da un orecchio anch'esso gigante. La partita a scacchi con se stesso rappresenta per Cesare Catania la forma di riflessione più profonda nel proprio io.

Description

Cesare Catania represents a metaphysical landscape .
The main scene is represented by a man who is playing chess against himself. On the left a sand hourglass is measuring the time and on the right a giant bishop acts as the jury during the game. The scene is played near a ravine. The background is represented by lunar mountains and a round sun, intrusive by its shape but weak in brightness.
On the edge of the ravine the presence of an echo symbolically represented by an ear which is also giant.
A game of chess with oneself for Cesare Catania represents the deepest form of reflection in himself.
