Description from the seller
Kiasmo
Titolo della serie: The Built in Mind.
Nome: This is not banana house
Designer : Francesco Di Dio
Concept
The Built in Mind is a series of illustrations by the architect Francesco Di Dio, known as Effe, for Kiasmo, and it explores architecture as a metaphor for the mind. In these works space does not obey the laws of physics nor the codes of traditional design: stairs that lead nowhere, inaccessible entrances, volumes suspended and floating, unsustainable proportions. They are structures that do not aspire to be built in the real world, but exist exclusively in the fluid territory of thought.
The mind is here the invisible architect. Each image is born as an inner project: a place generated by insights, memories, desires and perceptions. Like an architect, the mind designs spaces, opens passages, raises walls and invents perspectives through which we interpret the world. But unlike real architecture, these constructions do not have to respect rules, proportions or functional logics: they can be free, dreamlike, and contradictory.
The series reflects on how our thoughts construct our inner reality, our “mental home.” We often inhabit invisible structures made of beliefs, habits and interpretations inherited from our culture and environment.
Through Effe’s illustrations, The Built in Mind instead suggests the possibility of becoming architects of one’s own perception. The imagined architectures become exercises in freedom: places where thought can experiment, deconstruct schemes and reconstruct new interior landscapes; each work is at once a building and a mental process: a construction that reveals how the reality we inhabit is, above all, a project of the mind.
Tile 20 x 20 cm with passepartout and natural wood frame accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Kiasmo and a rigid box
Unreleased, brand-new sample and not yet present on the Kiasmo site.
