The complex and refined creative imagination of Carlo Mollino - an
eclectic personality of the Italian 20th century - is the common
thread that unites the research documented in these pages, which
combines a selection of photographs from the fifties and sixties,
shot by Mollino himself, with the works of Enoc Perez and Brigitte
Schindler, artists united by a visionary spirit aimed at
experimentation. The volume opens with the shots of the splendid
and provocative models portrayed by Mollino (Turin, 1905-1973),
through which the author on the one hand explores the beauty of
female nature and on the other aims to compose an image –
subjective and transfigured – of the woman as the ideal
counterpart of his existence. Enoc Perez (San Juan, Puerto Rico,
1967) began a personal investigation in the nineties on a series of
iconic twentieth-century architectures, which he transposed into
paintings with an indefinite, sometimes dreamlike flavour: among
these stands out Casa Mollino – the architect’s last enigmatic
and secret residence, which now houses the Museum – visited by
the painter in 2019 and the subject of the works presented here.
The same house, designed by Mollino down to the smallest detail and
conceived as a mirror of his worldview, was a source of inspiration
for Brigitte Schindler (Munich, 1972), whose photographs intercept
the mystery suspended in the rooms, the subtle connections between
the objects carefully chosen and positioned by the owner. The
volume includes contributions by Mario Diacono, Fulvio Ferrari,
Enoc Perez and Brigitte Schindler, together with extracts from
“The message from the dark room” by Carlo Mollino. Text in
English and Italian.
