for those interested in exploring the present
A journey, both aesthetic and poetic, into the imagination of the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa and his passion for Japanese culture.
Through the impressions suggested by the Japanese philosopher Ryosuke Ōhashi, Il Padiglione sull’Acqua (2023, 77′) develops along the thread of a question, the question about the meaning of beauty. The possibility of this reflection unites Scarpa’s works and traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Venice, as the gateway to the East and Scarpa’s birthplace, and the enchanted exploration of his works provide an opportunity to recall the poetics and emblematic episodes in the architect’s life.
The screening is preceded by a talk with Stefano Croci and Silvia Siberini, directors of the film, and Guido Pietropoli, architect; Elena Tinacci, MAXXI Coordinator of Contemporary Architecture and Design, introduces.
