THE MOOD FOR LOVE

 THE NEW COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION CELEBRATES VALENTINE’S DAY WITH A FOCUS DEDICATED TO THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LOVE STORIES THAT CAME TO LIFE ON THE BIG SCREEN.

THE MOOD FOR LOVE

From Saturday 11 February

The title of the exhibition is taken from the film In The Mood for Love (2000) by director and producer Wong Kar-wai, whose splendid plot is the starting point for a reflection focused on the theme of love in all its many nuances. At the Soggettiva Gallery the absolute loves that have marked the history of cinema through eras, films and cinematographic genres, reinterpreted for the occasion by the variations of eleven international artists.

TRIBUTE TO WONG KAR-WAI

The exhibition opens with Silvia Cocomazzi’s tribute to Wong Kar-wai’s cinema, declined in the four works commissioned by Soggettiva Gallery and dedicated to the films In The Mood for Love (2000), Fallen Angels (1995), Happy Together (1997 ) and Hong Kong Express (1994).

A “LOVE” OF ART

Young artist Adam Juresko makes a triple lunge with his renditions of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive (2011), Mike Nichols’ The Graduate (1967) and Michel Gondry’s Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, I’ll Gate.

Graphic designer and illustrator Raphael Kelly addresses the sentiment that blossomed between the human Theodore and the artificial intelligence Samantha in Spike Jonze’s Her (2013).

The unmistakable style of Colin Verdi offers a poignant interpretation of the famous Moulin Rouge (2001) by Baz Luhrman, while the work of Olivier Courbet is inspired by Days of Heaven (1978) by Terrence Malick.

The plot of Harold and Maude (1971) by Hal Ashby by Cheeky Design, while the sharp and retro design of Concepción Studios into an unprecedented vision of the great classic by Ridley Scott Blade Runner (1982).

Finally, in addition to the creation of the poster for the exhibition that brings together the most iconic couples in the history of cinema, Max Dalton is responsible for the reinterpretation of some of the most extraordinary love stories of all time: among these Titanic (1997) by James Cameron and Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) by Blake Edwards.

CRISTINA STIFANIC

The stylistic code of Soggettiva Gallery, which finds a constant stimulus in experimentation and dialogue with new realities, emerges in The Mood for Love with the collaboration between the Milanese artist of Croatian origins Cristina Stifanic and the Milano PrintMakers art printing house. From the confrontation the production of two unpublished works is realized, inspired respectively by The Misfits (1961) by John Houston and Mogambo (1953) by John Ford.
