Bernard Voïta (*1960 a Cully, VD) fa parte degli artisti fotografi più straordinari del nostro tempo. La serie “Melencolia,” che per la prima volta viene presentata per intero dalla Fotostiftung Schweiz, è la quintessenza di un lungo percorso in bilico tra apparenza e realtà.
Un gruppo di ciechi si raduna attorno a un elefante per farsi un’idea di come sia fatto. Uno di loro circonda una gamba con le braccia e dice: gli elefanti hanno l’aspetto di un tronco morbido. Un altro afferra una zanna e protesta: al contrario, gli elefanti sono duri e appuntiti, hanno una forma lunga e arcuata. Non è assolutamente vero, sentenzia il terzo tastando il fianco dell’animale: gli elefanti assomigliano a una parete dalla superfice irregolare. Il quarto invece, tenendo trionfante la coda tra le mani ride delle affermazioni dei suoi compagni: gli elefanti sono soltanto una funicella sottile. Così scoppia una lite violenta perché ognuno di loro è convinto di dire la verità.
