THE ARTISTS
GAIA DE MEGNI - Azimut Yachts
Notturno
The film 'Notturno' is the result of the collaboration with Azimut Yachts and transforms the shipyard into a suspended space, where night becomes a time of waiting and imagination. When the machinery falls silent, the lights redraw the contours of production, revealing a place steeped in memories of its operations. Through a collective game of cops and robbers, the work evokes the threshold between reality and dream, where bodies, sounds, and environments compose a silent choreography that renews the vital force of production.
MOZZARELLA LIGHT - Sabelt
Distanza di sicurezza
'Distanza di Sicurezza' explores the concept of distance and tension as forces capable of creating new spatialities. Through field studies of materials, applications, research and industrial testing by Sabelt, the project explores the concept of thresholds as spaces of relationships where measurements become languages. Two belts originating from the racing and aerospace sectors create a magnetic field of attraction and repulsion. The work reveals an energy that holds the elements together, creating a sense of precarious balance between stability and transformation, and strength and fragility.
MARIA POSITANO - Manifattura Tessile DINOLE®
Five Senses
In 'Five Senses', a work created in collaboration with Manifattura Tessile DINOLE, Maria Positano transforms offcuts from the trimming of the company's fine velvets into sculptural material. Blending corporate memory and artistic research, Positano uses casts derived from ancient wooden moulds to give shape to fragments of velvet armour. The artwork reflects on the concepts of defence, vulnerability, and resilience, and questions what it means to protect oneself today, not only from physical danger, but also from the social and environmental fragilities that surround us.
LORENZO ZERBINI - Xerjoff
Il Simile Scioglie il Simile
The sculptural group explores the use of scent as a tool for connection and discovery, capable of bringing us closer to sensory dimensions that are often overlooked. Drawing on studies of the empathic perception of insects, Zerbini considers how we distinguish between 'useful' and 'unwanted' species. Three sculptural elements come together to form an olfactory garden, combining materials and processes associated with the history of perfume extraction with three iconic Xerjoff fragrances. The installation invites visitors to explore a sensory landscape through olfactory grammar.
