A work by Italian conceptual artist Alighiero Boetti, *Avere fame di vento* ("To be hungry for the wind") reflects his enduring fascination with language, paradox, and the poetic interplay between meaning and form. The title itself embodies a characteristically Boettian sensibility — an impossible, yearning desire that gestures toward the intangible and the infinite. The piece invites contemplation of absence and longing, themes that permeated much of his practice throughout the Arte Povera movement and beyond.
