FRANCESCHINI, Anna; MOLLINO, Carlo
Cartaburro

Cartaburro is a project by Anna Franceschini that stems from the research on a gaze. She delved into an architecture of allusive meanings that make up the imagery of Carlo Mollino (1905-1973), one of the prominent designers in post-World War II Italy. Mollino was an architect, photographer, engineer, alpine skiing theorist and pilot. His aesthetics emphasizes a seductive ambiguity of the body—architectural or human—and a fetishism for the object. This book follows a research which led the artist to create works showcased between 2018 and 2019 at Almanac’s locations in Turin and London. [publisher's note]
