Oggetti del XX secolo

Objects of the twentieth century: ten ink drawings of things from the last century — a typewriter, a rotary telephone, a meat grinder, a record player, a sewing machine. Shown on 26 October 2024 at La Bottega Stellabotte, a studio in Scandicci near Florence, in an evening of pictures and music of the period.

People made objects. Then the objects crept into their dreams, thoughts and desires, and became the companions of our lives; no period of human history can be described without them. The exhibition was made for parents and their children, for whom the twentieth century is already a distant past.
