‘Genoma’
Federico Spagnulo, in collaboration with Julia Marmi
Federico Spagnulo investigates the relationship that is created between signified and signifier in an everyday useful object. The tension and the complementary nature of these two protagonists of semantics determine a new way of imagining and constructing objects. The choice of meaning is based on a precious, fundamental legacy, the set of information contained in the human genome, which takes the form of a stone wall decoration.

Julia Marmi is the Piasentina Stone: the fragrances and harshness of the stone have for decades been passed on from the hands of skilled stone-cutters to modern trials, mixing ancient knowledge and modern curiosities to offer unique pieces, carefully finished off, skillfully made from shapeless cube blocks to guarantee the highest quality. It is a natural stone known for its hardness and noble majesty and its particular shades of grey that make it both warm and cold, soft and hard, light or dark. This is the result of a bizarre natural event that occurred millions of years ago. It is a unique and attractive actress, which can be the main or complementary character, of monumental and picturesque exteriors and refined and welcoming interiors.

Federico Spagnulo indaga la relazione che si crea tra significante e significato in un oggetto di uso comune. La tensione e la complementarietà tra questi due protagonisti della semantica, determinano un nuovo modo di ideare e costruire gli oggetti. La scelta del significato è ricaduta su un patrimonio prezioso e fondamentale, quell’insieme di informazioni che costituiscono il Genoma umano, che assumerà la forma di una decorazione parietale realizzata in pietra.
