Episode 4 – The Sunday Woman: A City Lady

With this new episode of Archives of Affection we immerse ourselves in the story of a city through the portrait of a very special book, The Sunday Woman by Fruttero & Lucentini.
Turin, yesterday and today, becomes the protagonist of a layered narrative, a mirror of places, characters and atmospheres. 

Fruttero & Lucentini offer us a strumento prezioso per analizzare la città, its stereotypes, its hidden truths. And as we follow the thread of this eccentric urbanistic, literary and at the same time concrete reading, reflections that touch on the way of narrating and representing an urban space.

The Circolo del Design project is developing in collaboration with the Arnoldo and Alberto Mondadori Foundation, nell’anno che segna il cinquantesimo anniversario dell’uscita dell’omonimo film di Luigi Comencini.

L’episodio si avvale inoltre della collaborazione dello IED – Istituto Europeo di Design di Torino, involving a second year photography class in the project.

Il progetto prenderà vita nella mostra The Sunday Woman: A City Lady, created with the curatorial contribution of Dominic Scarpa.
