Design objects are usually represented through photographs which privilege selected parts of the objects. Photography generates a hierarchy among all the parts of the products that finally have a front and a back, a top and a bottom. By spreading these silicon skins, the whole object is made visible at the same time, thus giving equal importance to every part of the objects. This process represents a way of objectively documenting and archiving design products. ![]() ![]() ![]() De-titled I, 2017 This work consists of a series of design magazines where images have been erased. The work explores the aesthetics of the design magazine as a medium, with its layout, typography and paper. Furthermore, through this process, a certain wording and dialectics peculiar of the design language is highlighted, appearing as silly and exaggerated. ![]() Design Tunes, 2012 Design Tunes is a design anti-manifesto in a musical form. Ten tracks have been produced starting from excerpts of interviews of authoritative people in the design industry that describe and celebrate design. This work is a further attempt to unveil and debunk the rhetoric dominating the design discourse. Project in collaboration with Agata Jaworska. ![]() ![]() ![]() Design Loop, 2017 In Design Loop a series of connected printers print images and excerpts from design websites, blogs and designers' account on social networks. Paper sheets are passed from one printer to another and finally flock on the floor, thus creating an archive of what has been shared within the design community. This installation illustrates the self-referentiality of the discourse occurring in the design community, and it highlights the redundancy in the aesthetics generated by the design industry. |
