We have been walking upright for almost six million years and soon
learned how to offload our body's weight on the arch of the foot.
Salvatore Ferragamo dedicated all his life to the study of the
foot's anatomy, also researching into architecture and engineering,
as we can understand by looking at his patents. Walking, dancing
barefoot or en pointe, advancing along a wire in the manner of a
tight-rope walker, climbing mountains, stepping and marching on
orders, wandering about to find oneself, roaming around: these are
just some of the themes dealt with in Equilibrium, the new project
by the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, curated by Stefania Ricci and
Sergio Risaliti. This volume is based on the comparison among
magnificent, important and meaningful artworks of various origin.
The project has been developed through several media: painting,
sculpture, photography, video, cinema and printed editions. The
geometric balancing of Wassily Kandinsky is displayed alongside the
thread-like structures of Fausto Melotti; Albrecht Durer's Fortuna
with Giulio Paolini's funambulist; and portraits of Nijinsky
alongside those of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Trisha Brown.
