Tiziano Demuro and Sergio Raffaele - Under Milano
The subway is a lateral geography, a universe that literally underlies the real world and seems to move according to its own rules. In particular, the Milanese subway is used every day by over one million and three hundred thousand passengers. In continuous evolution, a tribe of nomads that passes through hybrid spaces are codified daily according to ever new rules. The travel routine, taken for granted and passive, becomes an image in Under Milano that translates attention from the objective place to its perception, from the physical structure to the way it is lived and therefore transformed. Although supported by a strong aesthetic system, the project goes beyond pure visual enjoyment to move towards an active anthropological investigation, trying to reveal a hidden, intimate, underground and pulsating landscape. Under Milano, thanks to the alchemy between the different personalities of the two founders– Tiziano Demuro and Sergio Raffaele–puts together a kaleidoscope of environments and situations in the Milanese subsoil, focusing attention on moments, details and atmospheres that, together, weave a precarious and precious daily experience.
