Attimo Sospeso is a typographic installation in the cloister of San Simpliciano, Milan. The work intends to provide a calming moment for the Milano Design Week visitors. The white banners interact with the architecture and the cut out letters let the frescos come through. Walking around the cloister the following thoughts appear above the visitors heads (CW in italian, CCW in english):

E
the sounds of my footsteps absorbed by the roar of the city
I stop and feel the weight of my feet
so many beautiful chairs, but nowhere to sit
finally a quiet place, I might even stop

I
suono dei miei passi nel frastuono della città
mi fermo e sento la pesantezza dei miei piedi
tante belle sedie, ma niente per sedersi
finalmente mi fermo
