VITE 2. Lives 2. Our journey

continues to discover new

cities and new houses.

To meet people using homes

as mirrors: to see yourself,

not to display yourself.

If homes become mirrors.

/THE BEAUTY THAT

GIANLUCA VASSALLO IS

ABLE TO CAPTURE IS THE

SAME THAT WE SET OUT TO

CREATE WITH OUR LAMPS:

MADE TO SHED LIGHT,

BUT ABOVE ALL TO BE

LIFELONG COMPANIONS.

Collezioni is the complete guide to Foscarini Collections: Italian design decorative lamps that seduce, surprise and inspire, night and day, whether they’re on or off.

VITE (LIVES) is a voyage that takes us inside real homes – in Copenhagen, New York, Naples, Shanghai and Venice – accompanied by the artist, photographer and videomaker Gianluca Vassallo. People are at the centre of the image and the narration, while the gaze is left free to roam inside personal spaces, real spaces that are also thus imperfect. We no longer look at carefully controlled environments, the artificial and “unreachable” images of photographic sets, but at homes that are lived in on an everyday basis, close-ups of the stories of the people who dwell inside them.
