A topic that has always been neglected by the discipline of the project and more relevant than ever today, in a planet populated with 7 billion people and ravaged by religious wars. In a dark landscape, where skulls and plant elements appear, echoes the song Whola Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, in which Robert Plant gives voice to the first male orgasm in music history.

Fondazione VOLUME!, with its layered history, and the city of Rome offer to Branzi the opportunity to dialogue with the presence disappeared underground of souls and nature to propose a message more vital than ever.

Branzi intervenes on the exhibition space to tell, through its objects – which are no longer pieces of furniture, but they are witnesses of the present – stories and reflections on the correspondence between the concepts of life and death.

“Long ago I found out that all the linguistic apparatus and the foundations of classical modernity, expired” – says Branzi to the curator. “A certain optimism elegant, rational, geometrical on which is based the majority of modernity has excluded all the great anthropological themes: life, Eros, the sacred, the death, the fate of the animal and plants. In the twentieth century other creative activities, such as music, art and literature are deeply renewed plunging into the torment of history and the culture of the project preferred to give voice only to mutations of the discipline. I believe it is urgent that the culture of the project starts processing of the new languages related to a new drama and new anthropological issues.”
