NOW IS CONSTANT, Permanent Collective Experience, 2026 - ongoing
NOW IS CONSTANT is an ongoing project. What we see in front of us - at times fragile and wavering, or at others intensely to our bones - is often impossible to translate into words. Its strength lies in what we often, in error, consider to be just blank space. Sink your teeth into space; the emptiness is only an illusion.
On February 13, 2026, for the first NOW IS CONSTANT event, Atzori invited the city of Rome to join him for an evening of drinks and discussion at the Roma York tattoo parlor. That evening, anyone who was so inclined could receive a free tattoo wherever they chose, as long as it was the phrase: NOW IS CONSTANT, in black, block letters.
It is a permanent and collective experience in which participants bond with a specific sentiment, immutably. A sentiment that is still undeveloped, confusing and controversial but at the same time hopeful and in dialog with each of our souls. One tattoo - the same for each person - is offered freely to whoever is willing to engage. NOW IS CONSTANT is a project that in each of its incarnations (Rome, Bari, Taranto for now) transforms an individual act into collective action. It exists, grows, expands and deepens with every person that agrees to participate.
