FILI ROSSI PER LA PACE (RED THREADS FOR PEACE)
A participated work built according to a tried-and-true paradigm, in which people participate voluntarily and individually, inserting themselves remotely in a collective dimension; a work that builds itself, gaining strength and expanding thanks to the aggregating power of ideas and gestures repeated by all those who choose to act it out, recreating an improvised liturgy that nevertheless enters fully into the “returning” dimension of ritual; a great work of osmosis, in which the individual and the spontaneous group meet, in a balance between social processuality and aesthetic improvisation.
THE FARKAS
Studio Farkas Ortenzi, founded in Como in 1955, was a pioneer in the Italian textile industry and from the 1960s to the 1990s became an art academy for artists from all over the world (France, Japan, America). Over the years, the Farkas have experimented with all kinds of techniques, styles and materials (watercolours, tempera, oil colours, Luma inks, paper, wood, fabric, glass, metal, silk-screen printing, photography) with floral, jungle, cashmere and geometric patterns. Their creativity has helped influence fashion and costume from the post-war period to the present day.
