"But Zobeide can still be saved. This is why we describe it by using a painstaking embroidery work, arranged according to a constructivist composition inspired by El Lissitzky’s “proun”, as a tribute to an artistic movement that embodied a collective dream about a completely new world. Constructivists translated their desire for this brave new world into an artistic production able to give their passion back to us still intact today, almost a century later. Pushing us to keep desiring to reach for the stars or, in this case, for the moon." Zobeide - desire and discipline - is our contribution to "Mirabilia", exhibition powered by @antilia.gallery, curated by @giuseppe.resta @fabiana_dicuonzo and @jgatip.

"Zobeide is an ugly city because it is a city without architecture: in fact, architecture happens when we are able to build, perpetuate and share our desires. The fundamental aim of any form of art is to free us from the destructive, changeable and individualistic features of desire by turning that instinctive feeling into a self-governed will, also known as love."

"Desire is the unmoved mover of the world. It’s the instinctual version of love."
