In Come promesso, the volume that accompanies the installation of the same name at the Mart – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto, Meri Gorni places letters from women to women –written in different languages and on hotel paper from around the world – alongside portraits of women of different nationalities, from different time periods, and of different ages. There are intimate letters which come from afar evidence of care, attention, of a maintained commitment – “ I send you my portrait, as promised”.
