WWTS IS HAPPY IN MOSCOW!

SO 820 C24 is the title of the installation exhibition created by the Rubelli Design Studio. The exhibition presents 7 installations whose single common denominator is a thread of white silk.

  One of this installation is “Textum”: a white page as a medium for writing. Writing conveys ideas, emotions and “wonders”, but writing is also form, a graphic sign that becomes decoration. The Million, i.e. the Book of the Wonders of the World, is the tale of the journey in Asia along the Silk Route by the Venetian merchant and traveller Marco Polo. The title that Francesco Zampieri chose for his work is “Textum”, from which the Italian word “testo” or “text” is derived. “Textum” comes from the Latin “texere”, i.e. “to weave”, to describe the “interweaving” of words that make up speech. “Textum” is the reproduction of a text on two panels of white silk satin: two pages of an edition of the “Book of the Wonders” with signed annotations by Christopher Columbus. Two great travellers come together in this way on the pages of a book: a virtual encounter as we would say today, but above all and once again an “interweaving” whose charm, centuries later, still wins us over.
