Dagallà

about the collection

Dagallà, a collection of new formations emerging from the surface of a rug. Edoardo Piermattei’s interpretation from above evoking the link of the original divine meaning of the term “Dag allah”, “saved by god” and the desolate volcanic landscape of solidified lava around Mount Etna. 

“Having this cartographic perspective from above is like entering somewhere...stepping onto an emerged world.”

- Piermattei considers Dagallà as a link that eliminates any kind of distance, physical and temporal; a symbol of coexistence between past and present, between before and after that responds to the urge to express shapes, colors and languages on the surface of a rug.
