Rome, Thursday 22 February 2024 | 6-8pm
The calendar of appointments for watching the documentary “The Pavilion on the Water”dedicated to the bond between Carlo Scarpa and Japan, adds one new stage along the boot.
The next February 22 in fact, a screening is planned inside the auditorium of the MAXXI Museum in Romean opportunity to delve deeper into the Venetian architect’s dispassionate love for Japanese culture.
An immeasurable bond and an unfortunate fate. Scarpa arrived in Japan for the first time in 1969, and that refinement and elegance he discovered left such a strong mark that it led him there again in 1978, on a journey that unfortunately also marked his death.
In its 77 minutes of duration, the docufilm made by Stefano Croci e Silvia Siberini develops its plot through the impressions suggested by the Japanese philosopher Ryosuke Ōhashifocused on one question: what is the meaning of beauty?
The figure of “Byzantine at heart, a European setting sail for the East” – as Scarpa liked to define himself – becomes here an opportunity to deepen the encounter between tradition and modernity and between East and West.
The poetics and anecdotes about the architect’s life are returned through the words of his son Tobiasby the students Guido Pietropoli, Giovanni Soccol e Guido Guidiand by the researcher JK Mauro Pierconti.
