What Bags Narrate
Francesco Biasia commissioned a cultural photo and documentary exhibition to commemorate their 30th anniversary. I attended the exhibition of the documentary held at the Italian Institute of New York. It was also attended by a bunch of random ladies riddling the Q & A session with questions such as “with all the things we carry in our bags, wouldn’t it make sense to design bags with wheels on it?” Uh, yeah lady they’re called suitcases?! That aside the documentary was interesting, it studied the significance and prominence of bag usage in 5 countries, Tokyo Japan, Valledupar Colombia, Milan Italy, Namibia Africa and Teheran Iran. In an interview section at the beginning of the film, a woman was explaining why women will always need more bags. She said we live never ending lives that include differing situations which will always require different bags and the need for more bags is also rooted in our capacity to multiply. So the next time some guy asks you why you need even more bags, tell him the answer lies within your womb.
