ATELIER FORTE_ the neverending surpriseMonday, 18 April 2011 | 02:43
EVENTO: Brunch at Atelier Forte
VOTO:
Gently Duilio Forte opens his own world for one week. The young italian artist and architect decided to unlock his house-atelier-studio-living sculpture. Not easy to get there if you're not by care, but it really worths. We stepped in something that apparently looked like an amazing villa, but after the first sculptural door, you actually understend you're entering a kind of a parallel world. Every wall hides a door that hides some stairs that leads to an hidden surprise. Looks like the friendly wooden twin of Piranesi's jail. Can this space really exists? Nothing is left to the obvious. Animal objects, functional or not, populate the atelier in every corner, showning themselves in every scale, untill arriving to the amazing wooden horse houses containing a sauna. I really mean it: you're in the garden, walking through a forest of light rough wood, but if you look up, you see the horse's belly ready to invite you to a visit upstairs. But how to get there? And here you go exploring again, untill you find a stair leading to a tiny dangerous passage lift on the internal court and carrying you till the opposite roof, where another small open air passage will get you digested from the horse. You feel like a baby in an adventure park, moving in and out from spaces you didn't even see before being inside. Really recommend a visit and, maybe, joining him in one of his workhops in Sweden.
