Inhabiting Black

At the city’s vertical core, where architecture meets the sky, black reveals its full depth. Inside Unipol Tower, a site-specific project transforms the space into a quiet yet powerful reflection on matter and shadow. At its center, Nero con punti by Alberto Burri: a wounded and mended surface where the painterly gesture becomes a physical, almost surgical act. Surrounding this magnetic presence, five creations by Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and Junya Watanabe establish an unexpected dialogue, composed of fabrics, folds, and volumes that seem to hold the light within. Curated by Silvia Casagrande, the exhibition weaves together art and fashion through a shared sensitivity to black - understood not as absence, but as a living space, charged with tension and possibility. An aesthetic that resonates with the Japanese philosophy of shadow, where the visible dissolves into the suggested. More than an exhibition, it is a contemplative experience in which surface and body, matter and vision, meet in delicate balance.
