ATOM: the cutting factory
Triennale di Milano, 2016
leather cm 200×100
The word “cut” is used in various circumstances, with many identities but always in the same sense: it is breaking element, which presumes a starting unity followed by a division.
In approaching this project, it all starts from contemporary publications, where the cut to “Civilization” remains the most shocking and dangerous story, where Migrations and Migrants become cutting knives of cultures, territories, economy and social structure.
mn2016 (MARE NOSTRUM 2016) tells the sad story of the Mediterranean today, that has become the sea with the most deaths in the word. Hence the decision to reshape it through men the join togheter, connecting shores, borders, fates and removing territorial divisions: the cuts become joints and open up a new awareness and humanity.
