Mondo Fragile
This project was developed in my house in Florence in April 2020, during the COVID19 quarantine period.
“Fragility” is perhaps the word that best identifies this particular historical moment, in which time seems to take on a different dimension: waiting for the days that follow one after the other, all the same, mark the omen of the aggravation of a pandemic that has changed and is still changing the way we live, the consequences of which are still largely unknown. The alleged unstoppable strength of the industrially advanced system, with all its technological security and its presumed invulnerability, had to stop suddenly in the face of the virus, instead of rediscovering itself very fragile and inadequate in dealing with the pandemic. The virus has infected our safety, has forced everyone to change their lifestyle, has made the basic pillars of our system falter in a short time, leading us to what will most likely be remembered as the greatest social and economic crisis ever crossed. All this should at least lead us to reflect on the role of man in relation to the world and on the very dimension of our society. We all suddenly became smaller, more fragile, and more isolated.
