Incalmi, the Venice-based company – known for its research, design and product development for prominent luxury, design and architecture brands –.will present Galateo Ancestrale, a research project developed in collaboration with artist Caterina Roppo – a textile dialogue inspired by the breath. Inspired by the free act of breathing, the works are the latest evolution of an in-depth study on textile that the artist has developed step-by-step with Incalmi’s expertise. This three-dimensional exploration captures the fabric weaves using metal. A moment which galvanises and solidifies into sinuous forms that seem to continue moving through space. An interplay of contaminations, materic and ancestral research that will lead visitors into the hypogeum of the Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco where, in a dialogue with the location, the unconscious will surface.
