That a walk allows one to be transported to another world, even if only for a few moments and the journey is mental, is great, because the imagination explores freely.
I often go on walks that end in visits to places where there is art, and sometimes the whole walk is full of it.
This walk or journey, partly mental and imaginative, started in a shipyard, looking at pictures and photographs of constructions in harbours, many of those photographs were old and in black and white or practically without much colour. I like these areas of the city or walking through them either in reality or through art.
It was a very small room of a semi-permanent exhibition with very varied art, from photographs, sculptures, surrealism and as you will see much more, even a trip to a small house, but that goes further on in my walk.
It is a sample of how the human being changes landscapes, spaces in this case within the city. With every step that human beings take, they modify the environment that surrounds them in one way or another, be it in the city or in the countryside, in life in general.
These modifications generate consequences of all kinds, social, economic, cultural, and I have been able to appreciate several works where the artists show these consequences and these ways of human beings interacting with the environment that surrounds them.
In the next room I was able to see several of these works, and also in very varied forms such as photographs of businesses like a pharmacy.
When I saw this giant boot, I wondered who could wear such a long boot, perhaps a giant. I tend to wonder about the works, mental questions I ask myself. Then I read the name on the sign and the work is called "Big Boot Lying Down", 1965 by the artist Jim Dine. I wondered if the boot was too tired and needed to rest.
Andrea Branzi exhibited this work, Competition for the Tokyo International Forum in 1989. It is a black monolith with a metal casing.
When I saw this work I didn't even know what to think, I saw a shelf and a dry tree in the middle and that's exactly what it was. I thought of nature passing through the work of man. This work belongs to the same artist as the previous work and they are so different.
In a corner of the room, like something forgotten, was this representation, whose artist is Gabriel Kuri. A corner with random objects, symbolising part of the real life we encounter in our daily lives. What object would you incorporate into this block, one that represents you? That's what the artist asks.
This work really made me laugh, to see a pair of trousers hanging with branches inside the pockets is not something normal and the work is called "Pocket that itches". The author Mircea Cantor. Reading the posters I realised that the play is about Romanian immigrants in Italy, and the lack of money.
At the other end of the room I could already see oil paintings with human figures and how human beings influence the space in which they find themselves.
I was also able to find various posters explaining the different rooms and what the works in them referred to, as in this case the theme of public space and its use according to the rules. I really like the fact that the exhibitions have the right references to understand the artists' work. But that doesn't mean that I don't have my own impressions when I look at them.

The walk was like a kind of labyrinth between works that many would call amparte, because in reality it is a mixture of things from real life and also paintings, photographs and even representations with their due histories and explanations, as in the case of these chairs hanging on the wall.
That little tour inside a labyrinth finally led me to a large room, which when I entered seemed to me to be in a completely different museum.
The things I saw reminded me of my childhood or the childhood of many children with didactic games and although the room was also made up of large paintings, they matched perfectly with the place, with bright colours and cool shapes.
I felt as if I were small, but not in age but in size in front of the huge works I saw, everything was done on a large scale.
A small toy-like house invited you to look inside, but it seems that you didn't have the right pass, only a select few could enter.
In one sector, pieces with different geometric shapes reminded me of childhood games, the kind that help develop children's intellect, creativity and imagination. Those that are often forgotten nowadays.
What do you think this giant work looks like? You have no idea how tall it is. It looks like sheep's wool twisted into sticks, very original.
This room and its works are called "Recomposing dreams and realities" and I really liked everything I saw, a gigantic, shadowy world, full of colour. Or at least that's what I perceived or what it conveyed to me.
The room was beautiful, like a kindergarten classroom, with giant games, beautiful works with lots of colours.

Look at these super giant chairs, surely here lives a giant who at that moment was taking a walk like me. Thank goodness I didn't run into him.
In each picture I could see more paths to explore full of imagination and creativity, I love that. They invite you to dream, to fly, to immerse yourself in other worlds through each brushstroke.
After that walk I went to the upper floor because you can have a panorama of the same room, but from another height and it was magical. Every corner of this museum is marvellous, to be visited several times.
Thank you very much for joining me on this Wednesday walk, I send you all a big hello. See you next time.
Amonet.
