“Get Off The Ground”Mutant objects by Pietro Travaglini
Photographs by Giovanni Gastel - Video installations by Marco Pozzi - Choreography by Davide Montagna
Design is that subtle line between art and design that is continually overtaken by taking on dreams, desires and passions that are sometimes so intense and personal as to produce an idea, often suggested by the observation of nature and aimed at a single subject: man .
This is the mood that gives life to the creative universe of Pietro Travaglini, for his pieces that are crystals of movement, conceived as bodies in constant and vital dialogue with light and space. To present his anthropomorphic and mutant creations to the Fuorisalone, the designer has therefore chosen a fluid mise en scene, a video-installation, whose leitmotif is the concept of "movement" that animates and inspires his pieces.
The visual concept focuses on the relationship between dynamics and forms of the human body and space - shape in design: balance, movement, dynamism.
A sequence of photographic images with the signature of the photographer Giovanni Gastel fix the movement - the shape of a stylized male body in a white limbo, treated with a motion graphic intervention.
A sort of photographic image in which the static nature, typical of photography, is intertwined with a slight, almost imperceptible movement. A hypnotic vertigo for the viewer.
The videoprojected images are edited by the director Marco Pozzi who has treated and animated in motion graphics the photographs created specifically for the project by Giovanni Gastel. The subject of video installations is the body, the (micro) movement of the body by the choreographer Davide Montagna.
The reworked and abstracted photographs of Gastel suggest the story of the body as it reverberates in the same silhouette of the pieces of Travaglini;
Micro-blasted steel, glass, MDF, LED, marble are the materials of choice for Peter, who molds cold matter into poetry, transforms its hardness into harmonic and anthropomorphic silhouettes, giving the archetypal forms of domestic design the status of art.
