ART and perceptual ARTifices

The essay proposes some reflections about the different relationships and types of relation that happen among works of art and architectures, where the latter plays the protagonist representation instead of being the place where the artwork exhibits itself or the experience where it’s hard to distinguish the border between arts and architecture. Many are the examples and moments of osmosis between the two worlds, when one is able to welcome the possible expressive ways of the other. History offers us several experiences, even belonging to the past centuries, which are characterized by different languages and communicative tools: but it’s possible for these last to identify similarities, to trace a fil rouge that sees the realization and individuation of a common character that governs them in the perceptual artifices and the utilization of perspective illusions. The relationships growing in places that were projected to be characterised by surfaces totally covered by frescos, revoke aestethic considerations or others related to the taste and the fashion of the time, rather than references to the favourite expressive instrument. Those invoked in this range are some experiences where the surface loses its being a limit, becoming an intangible membrane giving life to real architectural machines which lives in continuity with the real architectures ones that welcome them.
