Tiziana Fausti dyed red with Flavio Favelli’s art installation “China Red”

The spaces of Tiziana Fausti’s boutique are transformed into a real art gallery with the installation China Red by the artist Flavio Favelli. Real-life places dyed red in a contamination between ancient and modern, exotic and western.

Project: Flavio Favelli
Year: 2010
Site: Bergamo

Recycled and manipulated objects, which are dyed red and inserted in a new context, creating timeless connections. Different styles and times, which materialize and take on meaning only in this particular context. Certainly, a direct connection with the oriental world are the ceiling lights decorated with a motif taken from the old Fabbri Amarena vases dyed red like the surfaces of shelves and objects. A glossy varnish that refers to oriental lacquers and invades the whole floor. The ceiling, on the other hand, has irregularities, also incorporated in a single black-coloured surface. Here the shop becomes an almost emotional environment, in which participation becomes a fundamental element.

Following this recycling and handling process meant seeing the objects in another perspective. Not a simple painting but a conception of furniture as an artwork, a detail of a fundamental overall vision. The creation of customed furnishings, such as brass display elements, takes on a new meaning, in which the contamination between different styles and epochs becomes the only constant.
