"In his production for Marazzi, Luigi Ghirri places ceramics within a broader reflection on representation", explains Ilaria Campioli, curator of the exhibition - "Surfaces become part of that system of measuring and reducing the world to scale that was so important for the author in those years. The combination of the different planes and the grids allow him to deepen his reflection on knowledge and learning, as if they were a sheet of paper on which he could learn to write and draw each time."

For the exhibition visual communication, Studio Folder used one of Ghirri’s photo — a hand-drawn rainbow held by the shadow of a hand on a pink-and-blue background. Very fine lines have been superimposed on this photo both to emphasise the grid of the layout as well as to resemble the joints of the tiles, which were central to the exhibition.

“Luigi Ghirri. The Marazzi Years 1975–1985” is an exhibition of the work originated from the ten-year collaboration between Luigi Ghirri and the Marazzi tiles manufacture—a highly experimental series of thirty photos reflecting on the themes of space, architecture, domesticity, representation, and memory. Initially presented at the Palazzo Ducale in Sassuolo in September 2021, the exhibition travelled to the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Parigi in November, on the occasion of Paris Photo 2021.

The exhibition is a project undertaken by Gallerie Estensi, in partnership with the Archivio Luigi Ghirri, Marazzi Group, and Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Parigi / Curated by Ilaria Campioli / Exhibition design: Studio Folder (Marco Ferrari, Elisa Pasqual, Giulia Brembilla, Giulia Tomasi) / Manufacturing: FGM Works / Photos by Hector Chico and Andrea Rossetti.

Motorways have dramatically reshaped landscapes around the world while changing the way we are connected.

For "Cars: Accelerating the Modern World," an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum curated by Brendan Cormier and Elizabeth Bisley, we designed and developed an interactive visualisation of the 100-year evolution of the Euopean motorways network, linking it to mayor events in the history of the continent.

You can explore the interactive website here: https://www.vam.ac.uk/commissions/european-motorways-1920-2020/

The initial data for the visualisation have been collected from a variety of sources, and a lot of work has been put into the analysis, integration, and refinement of the transportation network data we used in the end. All of the final datasets are made available on GitHub: https://github.com/StudioFolder/european-motorways/

Motorways have dramatically reshaped landscapes around the world while changing the way we are connected. This visualisation reveals the history of their growth across Europe and its uneven nature, intensifying in some regions during certain periods, while remaining underdeveloped elsewhere.

"Cosa accade quando [un] confine cede, si scioglie, cambia tracciato, non come conseguenza di un conflitto, quanto piuttosto a seguito del variare del clima della Terra? E cosa implica questo spostamento sul piano del significato e della stabilità delle rappresentazioni che ci facciamo del mondo? In altre parole, come si articola oggi, anche in termini visuali, il rapporto tra geografia e politica?"

Piero Zanini recensisce "A Moving Border" su Doppiozero:

C’è una materialità del confine, del supporto su cui si iscrive, come delle modalità legate alla sua definizione, alla sua demarcazione e alla sua manutenzione, che passa spesso inosservata, incantati come siamo dalla sua immagine cartografica che lo riduce a una linea su una mappa. Ci diciamo ...
