Fashion and art fill every corner of Florence during the Salone Pitti Immagine Uomo. And this year Massimo Dutti wanted to participate in the cultural activities that the city offers to visitors who come to the city for the trade show with a collaboration with the artist Giulia Poppi, who has exhibited one of her pieces in the window of Massimo Dutti’s iconic store on Via Roma, 5.

Giulia Poppi’s sculptures are objects crafted from coloured lights, false transparencies, anatomical archetypes and, sometimes, minuscule mechanisms hidden in an interstice. They sound like an onomatopoeia or dance like a sea creature and, in the artist’s own words, she sometimes thinks of her sculpture as a film or an image. But she needs the physical experience. Matter is genuine and ambiguous. It can rapidly change.
