Sara Pedron and Marco Stecca are the young curators of the exhibition “Questo albergo è una casa” (“This hotel is a home“), which can be visited until March 2018 in the spaces of the AbanoRITZ. Before the opening, we asked them to tell us something about the project, to understand what inspired them, how they imagined to realize it and, above all, what features of the hotel have affected and influenced them the most. This is the interview that came out of it.

 

The interview

What is your project? Could you briefly describe it?

The project is an exhibition that, starting from the AbanoRITZ hotel, develops into different themes: architecture and design, dear ones and familiarity, with the aim of tracing some sort of temporal and evolutionary line of the concept of welcoming and hospitality that has always distinguished this facility.

 Which elements inspired you? How did you choose the concept of the work?

The elements that inspired us in the beginning continue to guide us through the making of the exhibition and to stimulate our planning. From a first research through the archives of the hotel, it emerged the pair Architecture-Loved ones. The materials that will be used in the exhibition show the aim of the Poletto family of not only building a tangible place, but also living it with their own time.

How does these inspirations result in your project?

We imagined to visually recreate the concept starting from the 1967 up until today, through a sort of temporal line. The exhibition itself will find its place in the spaces of the hotel.

Which is, in your opinion, the uniqueness of the AbanoRITZ? Is there something that struck you in particular?

We are constantly immersed in passing spaces, that force our life to adjust to a fast-paced rhythm. You enter, even for a couple of minutes (that easily become hours) in the hotel and the identity, relational and historical character of this place emerge immediately. Here, we think, lies its uniqueness.
