Il filosofo Emanuele Coccia e l’artista e ricercatrice Anna Franceschini ci guidano tra i mondi visionari di Gucci Garden Archetypes, lo spazio espositivo multi-sensoriale del Gucci Garden di Firenze dedicato alle campagne pubblicitarie degli ultimi sei anni di Alessandro Michele. Un’immersione nella caleidoscopica estetica del Direttore Creativo, in cui ogni atto creativo rappresenta un momento unico e irripetibile – un archetipo - fonte e alimento del dibattito su temi di portata universale, dove il confine tra passato, presente e futuro, tra storia, mitologia e utopia, si sposta continuamente.

The exhibition itself is a multi-sensory space journeying through time as well as out of it, exploring the diverse inspirations and archetypes that range from art and music to modern metropolises and utopian worlds.

The exhibition is held permanently at the Gucci Garden in Florence and temporarily in many cities around the world including Hong Kong and Shanghai.
