In his houses and apartments, Carlo Mollino carefully controlled the interiors, inventing choreographies of people moving through the spaces. He used curtains and mirrors to dissolve or multiply the boundaries of the rooms, thereby revealing his own paradox: those spaces were not conceived to be lived in, but to be displayed — scenographies for his art, photographic sets, theatrical stages where natural light was absent and the city remained outside, chasing an “other” dimension: the interior. Thus the body and the space it occupies become a fantasy: here, everything is possible. Yet those possibilities seem to concern not freedom, but constraint. Mollino is forever inside.
