MILANO DESIGN WEEK 23.
Since Tuesday 18 Apr 2023 the new Exhibition
“PERSPECTIVES: ARTISTIC MOVIE POSTER”
The exhibition brings together over forty unpublished works that explore the many suggestions and inspirations that architecture and interior design have drawn from the world of cinema, exploring the multiple points of contact between the two forms of creativity.
A selection of works of art and Alternative Movie Posters that explore the many suggestions and inspirations that the concept of “space”, with its “interiors” and its “exteriors”, have produced in the world of cinema.
Buildings that have become iconic for having hosted sets of famous films are flanked by architectures created starting from the cinematographic work, cadastral maps of
real cities are accompanied by topographies of imaginary places in an exhibition itinerary that reveals how the fascination of cinematic fiction is able to shape reality and vice versa.
CINEMA INTERIORS
With the Home Sweet Home series, Pascal Witaszek reproduces the floor plans, with attention to the smallest details, of the most famous houses in horror cinema such as The Exorcist and Psycho.
“IN FRONT OF” NEW YORK
George Townley immortalizes the real New York architectures that have become famous for hosting the settings of great classics such as Ghostbusters and The Royal Tenenbaums.
SECTIONS AND FACADES
Max Dalton has “dissected” some houses (from “Parasite” to “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind“) proposing the most important moments of the film inside them (moving from one room to another). Just as he illustrated the front perspective of the phantasmagoric Neo-Gothic style apartment building in “Rosemary’s Baby” or the facades of the houses on the streets invaded by animals in “The 12 Monkeys Army“
CINEMATOGRAPHIC “ROUTES”
Andrew Degraff, known for his “Cinemaps” and for his work on “illustrated maps”, proposes the “spatial trajectories” that lead the protagonists of the films of Pulp Fiction, King Kong, The Silence of the Lambs, Fargo and Mad Max.
CINEMA EXTERIOR
With his work as a whole, Anthony Petrie almost zooms out from the meticulous interior of Discovery One in “2001 A Space Odyssey” to the radar screen of Liberty Island Security Control in “Escape from New York”, from the Tokyo subway plan in the cult manga “Akira” to the Taxi Service Map of “Taxi Driver“, from the map of the traps in the temple of “Indiana Jones!” until you get further and further away with an orographic map of “The Planet of the Apes“
MOVIE PLANS
From the plans and sections of the houses that formed the backdrop for great cinema cults to urban maps that retrace the key places where the events of Fargo or Pulp Fiction unfold up to the unmistakable skyline of King Kong, PERSPECTIVES: ARTISTIC MOVIE POSTER sheds new light on the spaces that the big screen is capable of producing or reproducing, revealing how the fascination of cinematic fiction is sometimes capable of shaping reality and vice versa.
