From 10 April to 6 May 2026, BUILDING BOX presents Anime (2026) by Antonio Marras (Alghero, 1961), the fourth installation of the exhibition project Per filo e per segno. Percorsi di arte tessile in Italia.
For the occasion, BUILDING BOX proposes a set-up designed specifically for the space, drawing inspiration from the atmosphere of the place. The display cases become in fact a small temple within which Marras places a series of vertical elements evoking caryatids. In this case the figures are replaced by women's garments hung on glazed ceramics, poised between reliefs and sculptures, on which small holes appear. The garments become Anime that move through the space, and it is as if they maintain a relationship with the bodies that once inhabited them.
“Sono un animista”, says Marras, in his regenerative desire. The garments that characterise the installation, from different eras and places, have been selected from his immense archives of discarded clothing from every part of the world.
