A different way to see the everyday things. An attitude to investigation and unconventional way of thinking that can distort the banal clichés. Effortless. With simplicity. With creativity and eccentricity. Originality and unique unrepeatable gestures. These are the characteristics of those who don’t give up looking for new meanings for old things.
This is what happens when a metaphysical painter like De Chirico “dresses” the interior of a bakery. The oldest among the craft workshops. The most archaic and indispensable food gets a new packaging.
…Or when a daily, all-white interior is transformed by Yayoi Kusama’s dots and by the hand of thousands of children. A simple dining room turns into an “obliterations room”. An explosive and vibrant colored mix is the result of public’s (re)action.
…Or when you bring into an interior, the outside street art of graffiti. Messy, dangerous and sassy it can offer two faces of a way of being in the “Panic Room” painted by Tilt.
…Or nevertheless when your fridge door could be opened with a smile :).
Are they the pioneers or crazy people looking for a different way of everydayliving? Or are we the “mad” that we are always content with the same things, day after day?
Un modo diverso per vedere le cose di sempre. Un’attitudine alla ricerca e alla non convenzionalità che può stravolgere i banali clichè. Con semplicità. Senza grandi sforzi. Con creatività e estrosità. Originalità e gesti unici ed irripetibili. Queste le caratteristiche di coloro che non si arrendono a guardare le cose come sono, cercando nuovi significati per vecchi modelli.
E così avviene che un pittore metafisico come De Chirico “veste” l’interno di una panetteria in Australia. La più antica delle botteghe artigiane. Il più arcaico ed indispensabile degli alimenti ha un imballaggio completamente nuovo.
…o che un interno quotidiano completamente bianco, minimale si trasforma tramite i pois di Yayoi Kusama e la mano di migliaia di bambini in un mix esplosivo e vibrante di colori. Una sala da pranzo che diventa una “stanza delle obliterazioni” grazie alla re(l)azione con il pubblico.
…o che l’arte di strada dei graffiti…imbrattante, dannosa e impertinente offre due facce di un modo di essere all’interno della “Panic Room” dipinta da Tilt in un hotel di Marsiglia.
…O addirtittura che un semplice frigorifero si apra con un nostro sorriso.
Pionieri, folli sono coloro che cercano un modo diverso di vivere il quotidiano? O noi che ci accontentiamo di essere sempre uguali a noi stessi, giorno dopo giorno?

WOW.. Impressive, brilliant style! The pictures are also gorgeous!
<3
When art & architecture work together, they produce a brilliant result…like in these images…I hope they would go on inspiring us!
Mara! stella, mi fa piacere vedere una fetta di Melbourne proprio qui! Purtroppo il pane non e’ proprio buono, al meno al mio parere. La bottega invece vale la pena veder sicuramente. Post meraviglioso poi…x
hahah bellissimo! Non ti nego che mi sono chiesta se lo conoscevi! A me è molto piaciuta l’idea, poi immagino che in realtà il pane è + buono da noi nei forni antichi dove te lo danno nella carta marrone senza nome nè etichetta…e i prezzi come sono???? folli???
Esatto, hai capito benissimo!!! Non riesco a trovare il pane decente qui, anche pagando cifre non indifferenti…;-)
These pictures are beautiful and inspiring.

Agreed! That was my first thought, well, maybe my first thought was that the bread looked delicious given these carb-evil times. Great pictures!

The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad?
[Alice checks Hatter’s temperature]
Alice: I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
