Atelier dell’Errore, SIAMO L’INCIAMPO, SUPERIAMO LE SCALE VOLANDO
Staircase
Atelier dell’Errore is a laboratory conceived by Luca Santiago Mora in 2001 for the children of Child Neuropsychiatry, first for the Reggio Emilia A.U.S.L., then also for the A.O. Papa Giovanni XXIII of Bergamo.So called, because, Luca Santiago said: «At first I felt like a mistake being there, with them. Then I discovered that they almost always feel like mistakes, thanks to us “normals”: at school, on the bus, at birthday parties to which they are never invited. But even on the error you can build a wonderful working method to redeem the poetic potential of these kids, unknown to many, me first».
Atelier dell’Errore draws exclusively animals and, for the staircase of Casa Testori, has decided to choose from the Atlante di Oltre Zoologia only creatures that can fly, precisely those that do not need a staircase to ascend. Those animals that “even though they are stumbling blocks, errors to put it bluntly, leave us astonished, face upwards, with an easy stroke of the wing”.
