Design in Italy. The daily experience.

Another book that I read is in Italian, Design in Italy. The daily experience. ("Design in Italia. L'esperiena del quotidiano").

I read it because I wanted to explore different contexts for my sculptures, in fact the book is divide in 3 parts, to make an analysis at 360 degree: the daily location (house, work, body, city), atlas of the objects (furniture, electrical appliance, household products, packaging for food, electronics items, office items, publishing, sport, mobility, chronology) and companies and people.

The first part was really helpful because explained hoe those places had changed during the years in a more suitable way for the people to live in but also because of new technologies and innovative products and so changed habits. It is really a contemporary issue: the cover-19 totally changed the way the relation with the world, the objects and the other people. Most of the situations have to be reconfigured for the safety of everyone, while people can't wait to go back as it was before, not realising this is a good opportunities to fix what wasn't working.

At the end, I think my sculptures can work as decorative objects in houses in a small scale, or as installation in larger size. I wanted to test the bigger scale for this Summer Show, but I will need to get things in another perspective, without losing my aim of using the body to trigger movement in them.
