A conversation, through visual images and objects, winding around shapes and material which echoes creative forcefulness together with nature's primeval main elements.
Geological adventures of land and water, of wind and fire are the
hub of
Giorgio Vigna 's work, where natural and artificial, poor and precious, common sense and daring fantasy combine.
Because his work is art and design, it's precious, it's nature, but especially it is the freedom to imagine new, yet at the same time ancient shapes.
What is your approach towards a new city?
I refuse to look at a map, I like to get lost in a city, wandering aimlessly around, motivated only by curiosity I realise that doing it this way, obviously I miss out on something, but I do it on purpose that way I have an excuse for going back.
About the article
Giorgio Vigna Moleskine Notebook at Detour exhibition
Milan is your city, what is your urban route?
I tend to be a man of habit, I drink coffee in the same bar, buy my newspaper from the same newsagent's and follow the same route. My favourite places in Milan are without a doubt the
parks , because I love the relaxed atmosphere, the calmer pace, I don't like frenzy and city pace. On the contrary, I love the atmosphere of the industrial suburbs.
Another city you love?
Rome, which I often visit ,one of the things I love doing most is travelling around Rome on a motorbike because it gives you a totally different perspective from the canonical one. Each time I go to Rome I can't not go to the
Vatican Museum , Piazza del
Pantheon , the
Circo Massimo , the Jewish ghetto, extremely well known but nevertheless splendid. It's like when I go to Florence I can't help going to see the PONTORMO deposition.
The DETOUR experience?
It was a wonderful experience it allowed me to get closer to the world of paper of black and white a job I love doing, the regular stimulus of DETOUR gave me the drive to do this, something I had lacked in the past. The work I'm doing at the moment is moving in that direction.
