The project takes shape from the combination of simple, thin sheets of screen-printed aluminum – with a touch of color on both sides – which give life to a kinetic sculpture, where the form in space is not predefined but develops unpredictably. Suspended works of art that, at first glance, suggest a specific function but, upon closer inspection, reveal their “uselessness” and challenge the logic of traditional design. The eponymous collection presented by Amini includes three color variants representing frames of the same rotating Macchina Inutile, narrating a moment of its kinetic nature: the slow evolution of these abstract geometric figures, even with a breath of wind, thus comes to life in carpets expertly hand-knotted with precious wool and silk. The colors – yellow, pink, gray, red, and blue – are taken directly from Munari’s visual universe, to deliver a work that is both a citation and a reinterpretation.
