Antologica. Objects Between the Lines

Antologica. Objects Between the Lines explores the relationship between objects from the Historical Collection of the Compasso d’Oro, literature and the collective imagination.

A selection of Compasso d’Oro-winning projects is brought into dialogue with passages from world literature through free associations that intertwine the material dimension of objects with the immaterial dimension of words. Objects become protagonists, define settings and atmospheres, or give physical form to images evoked through reading, while literary texts offer new ways of interpreting the Collection.

This dialogue takes shape in the exhibition design through a sequence of almost theatrical scenes, conceived to evoke shared references while also encouraging personal associations.

Rather than offering a single interpretation, the exhibition creates an encounter between objects, words and memories: an open anthology of our material culture, to which everyone is invited to add their own pages.
