What Ⅰ is Fabrica? What is Fabrica? 8 What is Fabrica? Introduction 9

Fabrica is hard to describe. It is a villa in the Italian countryside where you will spend one year. It is a bubble in which you will work and maybe sleep. It is ordered like a studio, runs like a workshop and sometimes behaves like a school. It feels like a nuclear bunker. It is a creative laboratory where 40 young researchers experiment with and build upon the creative knowledge that they bring from the outside world. It is 365 days of freedom from clients and trends of the professional industry. It is a lot of work. It’s a place for difference, a mix of people from nearly every continent. It is a design centre, but we are not here to learn about good Italian design (although some of us do). We are here to produce new ideas, to make changes, to figure out how different skills and cultures can redesign each other, all inside an Italian home styled in concrete by a Japanese architect. We are here to code, design, film, write, compose, remix, hack, edit, reprint. We could do that anywhere. But here, we make it look good.

Overall people have been supportive of the People were not comfortable having their faces work and it’s had very positive response although shown and it didn’t communicate how the long it definitely received a more mixed reaction periods of waiting affected asylum seekers. from people in the United States. I ended up playing with photoshop and found the effect of scratching had the potential to communicate the loss of identity and confusion asylum seekers felt.

How did you manage to convey your creative inputs into one coherent output?

The final outcomes of the Lingering Ghosts work are a passport themed photobook and series of 28 portraits, made by hand scratching photographic prints.

Did you encounter any major challenges while doing the project? Do you have any advice for someone who wants to start a personal project? At first it was the issue of finding asylum seekers willing to be photographed, but once Go with your gut but have a clear goal or focus. I had established the visual strategy it wasn’t such a big issue. When I returned to expand the work in 2014 there were a lot of challenges in finding charities who were willing to give access to their clients. It’s completely understandable as a lot of asylum seekers and refugees using charity support could be vulnerable. I realised by offering a service in return, such as event photography or photography workshops, it helped charities be more open to the idea of helping out with Lingering Ghosts.

What did you do at Fabrica? Sometimes limitations can push your creativity, and it’s always beneficial to use what’s on hand. I was lucky enough to work on a few personal projects. The first were two short films: And then? Piece of Paper (for Amon Tobin) and Vanish (in collaboration with musician Davide Cairo). After Vanish, the next step came naturally for Davide and me: scale up the scenography How did you decide on the medium? and make an audiovisual performance out of it.

Balancing the poor projection quality with the excellent image How did you get the resources for this? quality of a Canon 5d Mark II led me to explore the medium of film. Probably the only way to realize a project like this is to seek contacts outside Fabrica. We were lucky to get in touch with the owner of a club in Mestre, Italy, who liked our work. A turning point in my life. The deal we got was to play for free, while they could charge entrance to the club – they offered the venue and covered the cost for renting a professional-level projector. Fabrica came in last, and sponsored 300€ for the foam core to build the scenography.

Advice?

I guess for me the most important points are: Some limitations you had? Trust in yourself, your interests and skills. If you want to do a specific piece, fight for it. Both shorts were done by using left-overs from Limitations can be good. Always use what’s on the various departments (big thanks there to the hand.

How did Mobile Museum begin? Epic Tadao Ando complex. Ando Tadao Epic It started as part of a Fabrica group exhibition called Next Cabane, which was about designing nomadic “pop-up” spaces. Philip Bone and myself decided to make a Mobile Museum, putting together our skills as a graphic and industrial designer respectively over a period of 8 weeks.

How has it grown since it started? We had a great response from the first show in Milan, and soon after the Victoria & Albert Museum in London invited us to curate a new show for them. From this point on the Mobile Museum became a kind of personal project for Phil and me, that had enough momentum to keep going independently. We made 7 shows in just over 2 years, arriving in Milan, London, Brussels, Helsinki, Luxembourg, Beijing, Hong Kong and it’s still going strong.

Get ready for the real world. The Fabrica bubble is about to burst and you will soon have to pay rent, pay for lunch, make a budget. Leave Fabrica with some kind of direction, whether you are returning home or if you have found a job in a new country or city.

Saying goodbye

Fabrica does become a home, and Fabricanti become family. For most of us, far from our friends and family, the people with whom we work also become sisters, brothers, best friends, weird uncles.

The best part about being a Fabricanti may be simply living in Italy. Wake up, drink your cappuccino or espresso, and try a brioche filled with jam, chocolate, almond paste or cream. Whether you take the bus or jump on your bike, you’ll be heading straight for the Alps, and you can see them getting closer on your way to work. At Fabrica, you will be surrounded by vineyards and fruit trees. Spot the snow-covered mountain peaks from your window.

A year in Fabrica is also a year in Italy. If you are not Italian, you Italians have many rules related to food: what to eat with what and will most likely notice some cultural differences. Italians have their at what time. These rules are adapted by some newcomers, and way of doing things, and these have been around for centuries. totally ignored by others. They will probably never change. Some rules and traditions are great, like drinking at aperitivo time. Others are harder to adjust to, like siesta hours after lunch Do not drink cappuccino Do not cut spaghetti Combining seafood when all the shops are closed. It is hard to generalize, considering after the morning with a knife & dairy is bad the extreme differences between South and North and distinct cuisine, dialects and landscape every few kilometres.

Learning Italian is not essential to your survival at Fabrica, but it helps living life in Italy. Many Trevigians don’t speak English, and will greatly appreciate your small efforts to speak Italian. Banks, shops, immigration offices, police stations and markets really only have Italian-speaking workers, so there will always come a time when you have to express yourself in Italian. If all else fails, 100% Italian gesticulate wildly with your hands and eyebrows.

Here is an extremely scientific calculation of the probability that you learn Italian in one year, based on the languages you already speak: 72% Latin Languages

If you are from France, Spain, Portugal, Romania or Latin America, you have an advantage. Many Latin-language 54% speaking Fabricanti come and learn European Languages Italian in just a few months. Others leave having just begun You don’t have the advantage that to grasp the language, but either other Latin-language speakers enjoy, way you will probably do better but you have a slight edge based than other Fabricanti without even on general EU vibes. You may have really trying. 9% already met some Italians, or at least Only English drink similar kinds of alcohol.

You buy an Italian dictionary, take some classes online and try hard for 0% Italian a while. But then you give up because everyone here speaks English and the 4% few times you need Italian in Treviso Asian Languages isn’t enough to keep you committed.

You may not be 100% fluent in English, so learning Italian through English makes things even more difficult. But you’ll probably pick up a few sentences appropriate to your lifestyle.
