Strappi

Strappi is the name of a project devoted to restoration and its practices where palazzo grassi has decided to reveal to the public the conservation work on two murals created between 1740 and 1745 by the italian artist Carlo Innocenzo Carloni and today part of the heritage of the institution.

Palazzo Grassi invited us to stage the show in a manner completely capable of substituting for any kind of written explanations.

The choice of materials, colors, and clothing designed by the studio is the narrative tool, emotional and immediate, through which the project communicates.
We used color to emphasize the theatricality of the project, giving chromatic emphasis to the furniture on which the tools are placed, to the workers’ clothing, to the walls, and to the floors that, like tatami mats, must endure the repetitive, obsessive steps of whoever is working on the image.
