Views of the exhibition: a yellow curtain in a white gallery beside a pink render on the wall, a framed print on yellow felt, colorful modular furniture on a terrazzo floor, and a blue curtain next to a yellow one

Orbiting the furniture constellations of the SSML Apartment in Lugano, fragments is a first experimental animation study.

Stefano’s furniture concept addresses the questions of contemporary living by juxtaposing modular pieces with complementary accessories.

The medium of the video animation is chosen for the versatility and power in displaying transformations and their potential interactions.

Unlike still frames, where the viewer must fill in the gaps between defined compositions, the animation focuses on the movement in a fragmented, frenetic, and looping sequence.

Each room’s defining constellation is crystallized through bright posterlike frames, which mirror the vibrant plywood elements crafted by Falegnameria Giussani.
