Uncountable: Beplano and TB Group’s installation celebrating the value of the intangible
As part of the Christmas Design 2024 exhibition in Bergamo, Beplano and TB Group present “Uncountable,” an art installation that invites visitors to embark on a journey of introspection and personal discovery. The work interweaves art, music, philosophy, literature and spirituality, valuing the intangible elements that enrich the human soul and that, too often, are neglected in contemporary society. The installation aims to evoke the great masters of the past and their teachings, transforming them into an interactive experience. In fact, visitors can leave their own contributions, making the work a continuous dialogue between the present and the future. Harmoniously integrated into the urban space, Uncountable uses the trees in the square as an integral part of the project, transforming a place of daily transit into an oasis of reflection and contemplation. To make the installation more engaging moreover, a rich schedule of events has been designed, including artistic performances and cultural interventions.
Angela Laurino, co-founder of Beplano, says:
Our society needs to rediscover a humanistic dimension. Only through art, philosophy and spirituality can we achieve productivity that is combined with deep well-being.
Uncountable pays homage to Franz Kafka, inspired by the theme of metamorphosis. Valentina Brugnoli, co-founder of TB Group, explains:
We chose to transform industrial waste into gleaming walls, a symbol of rebirth and the ability to find beauty in imperfection. The work also represents the debut of Mesh&Arch, TB Group’s new brand dedicated to sustainable design. Laura Brugnoli co-founder of TB Group adds:
We wanted to give new life to our production waste, demonstrating the creative potential of otherwise unused materials. Thanks to Beplano and Christmas Design, we had the opportunity to make this vision of ours a reality.
Cesare Grasseni, co-founder of Beplano and designer of the work, concludes:
“The flow of time often eludes us, leaving us unable to fully grasp the reality around us. This work is motionless, but the visitor embodies its dynamism, traversing it and making it come alive. The moments of inspiration and awareness invite one to see one’s life with renewed eyes, while the final embrace of the tree of life represents an invitation to reconnect with the whole, celebrating the here and now in its purest essence.”
