Codex Seraphinianus

"A vignette from a continuation of the Codex Seraphinianus reproduces the outside aspect of Galleria Borghese and unveils an intention which would not remain unseen to an archaeologist of mystery. Here, Azzedine Alaïa acted the magic of couture made body. The image of a place and two names, Azzedine Alaïa and Luigi Serafini, are the three elements that illuminate a mysterious parcours of intelligibility of the phantasm of a shape and a plasticity foreign to time, since buried under the layers of signifiers, but ready to react from the encounter with asemic energies, in different ways." Anna Coliva
