The Home Within
La Casa Dentro (The Home Within), a solo exhibition curated by Alberto Salvadori at Fondazione ICA Milano.
The body of work specifically developed for this exhibition explore themes of personal identity and collective memory. The works critically addresses the canons of Modernism, highlighting its gendered nature and rootedness in a conservative understanding of masculinity.
Formafantasma’s work departs from a staple of the Modernist furniture making, the bent tubular metal, to closely examine the tension between the lived experience of domesticity and the intellectual understanding of Modernist ideologies of architecture and design.
The body of work while being extremely personal, is an attempt to queer the codes of Modernist design and sees the process of being professionally educated as the inevitable imposition of a canon.
La Casa Dentro is a meditation on memory, nostalgia for what is lost and the impossibility to fully un-learn.
