Sguardi Indiscreti installation

The installation uses the paradigms of Classical architecture, with a wooden structure and a design scheme of uprights and beams, concealing inside curiosities as regards new technologies and the contributions they have made to mankind’s actions.
Externally the construction is a small house with windows, inserted in which are plaster bas-reliefs created by Gipsoteca Fumagalli e Dossi of Milan, depicting faces, hands and noses. These are casts created according to a traditional procedure representing details of famous Classical and Renaissance sculptures, personalised with glasses, again made of plaster, that pay homage to Safilo, the sponsor of the installation.
To stimulate the curiosity, at the centre of some glasses there are holes that allow you to look inside the installation, furnished with “magic boxes” of mirrors that reflect, as in a kaleidoscope, animated images that tell of the production of the glasses in an ironic way.
The contrast between the technological heart, the classicism of the plaster and the artisanship of the structure is intended to suggest that visitors always observe things from a number of points of view, that they should look at the beauty of humanism without abandoning curiosity about the evolution of technology, to learn to construct the personality of the beautiful things of the world that reflects on the beauty of the environment and society.
