Sometimes, family scenes can become into sinister scenes. Situations that could be as homey or comfortable, can suddenly turn into nightmares that, again and again, come to hit our minds, and even to martyr them. Maurizio Cattelan, in Bidibidobidiboo (1996), seems to be trying to get closer to hidden areas of his most intimate memories, or his deepest or most intense experiences. Death, anguish, uneasiness... are among many others, some ideas that come into our minds when we contemplate his work. Anyway, there is no doubt that the author, with this work, gets to perfection that we wonder about it, and it ?s not easy that we can mark the thin line that separates the shocking from the sinister.
