Milano Design Week. IN/OUT
Cosmos and chaos, body and mind, rules and exceptions, individual and community, natural and artificial...represent the dualism of open borders within human life. Massimo Iosa Ghini’s dialogue investigates this theme of Open Borders, interpreting the ceramic material within its dual meaning of abstract, impalpable and mental shape but also organic, primitive and bodily.
The installation represents the volumes of two basic units, meant as paradigm of human beings’ universal values. The outdoor wavy surface is covered by ceramic material, bended and fractured, then opened to the contamination and potentiality of random re-configuration. The chromatic and tactile variety of Ceramiche Cerdisa products allows to create this vibrant and rich pattern. The indoor pure volume is characterized by white bright tiles, evoking a suspended and ethereal temporal dimension. Open border identifies the open space of contamination between opposites polarities: inside and outside, individuality and close encounter.
