Kiasmo - Francesco Di Dio - Frame (4) - Wood, Canvas

Kiasmo Titolo della serie: The Built in Mind. 4 pz Designer : Francesco Di Dio Concept The Built in Mind is a series of illustrations by architect Francesco Di Dio, known as Effe, for Kiasmo, exploring architecture as a metaphor for the mind. In these works space does not obey the laws of physics nor the codes of traditional design: stairs that lead to nothing, inaccessible entrances, suspended and floating volumes, unsustainable proportions. They are structures that do not aim to be built in the real world, but exist exclusively in the fluid territory of thought. The mind is here the invisible architect. Each image is born as an inner project: a place generated by intuitions, memories, desires and perceptions. Like an architect, the mind designs spaces, opens passages, raises walls and invents perspectives through which we interpret the world. But unlike real architecture, these constructions do not have to respect rules, proportions or functional logic: they can be free, dreamlike, contradictory. The series reflects on how our thoughts build our inner reality, our “mental house.” We often inhabit invisible structures made of beliefs, habits and interpretations inherited from our culture and environment. Through Effe’s illustrations, The Built in Mind suggests instead the possibility of becoming architects of one’s own perception. The imagined architectures thus become exercises in freedom: places where thought can experiment, deconstruct patterns and reconstruct new interior landscapes; each work is at once a building and a mental process: a construction that reveals how the reality we inhabit is, first and foremost, a project of the mind. 4 prints on textured wallpaper paper, framed with natural wood and accompanied by an authenticity certificate from Kiasmo.
