Milan, March. 29 – The art center Unorossodue in Milan opened the exhibition of Albanian artist Fani Zguro on Thursday. The event will last till April 2. Exterminators is a series of charcoal drawings over the handwritten proof roll of Albanian artist Fani Zguro’s story collection “Mr. Dosti”. Straight out of heavy metal’s imagery, straight out of skulls, teeth and sunglasses sole witnesses of the presence of a body, Fani Zguro’s Exterminators are also featured in some of William Burroughs’ hallucinated stories. The author himself describes hiw work in an original and literary way. “Like dried-up bugs buried within the roll’s papers, the exterminators’ reflect humorous features come scarring Mr Dosti and his brothers. They prevent onlookers from reading, as they prevent the writer from pursuing the story of The Man WhoŠThere’s no more ending, there’s no more end, there’s no more hope nor blood in the vessels; all vision is exterminatedŠI didn’t want anyone to care about the rolls I kept arranging at night as library cards for suckling miceŠyet the vaudeville brother withdrew entwining dark presences, invisible to meŠIn many occasions did I witness such mouth-agape ritesŠA few minutes later they chit-chatted calmly, checking the cards while exterminators poured inŠI used my car, a black Ford V8, working on my own, carrying my pirethrum spray cans and my fluoride bulbs up and down the stairwaysŠ”Exterminator! Any need for my job?”
