Gaia Bellini's Botanical Notebooks at Trajan's Markets
At the Mercati di Traiano in Rome, you can check out an installation called 'Taccuini botanici' by artist Gaia Bellini, who was born in 1996. This work offers a new take on books, viewing them as tools for capturing memories and preserving moments. It draws inspiration from the styles of Bruno Munari and Katsumi Komagata. These notebooks are described as 'books of new memory,' serving as snapshots of a constantly changing environment. They combine fragility with a modern, clean look, inviting people to engage with beauty through touch. This installation is part of 'Live Museum Live Change,' a project organized by PAV in partnership with various cultural agencies.
