SILK ROAD RELOADED is a travelling
exhibition moving from town to town; an ensemble
of 18 printed silk pieces, each a unique square 130x130 cm, based on elaborate
metaphors of today’s most critical issues, associating fashion and design codes with irony. First step, Milan : Networks
As a former junior diplomat and political consultant (specialized on web democracy and social intelligence) Simon decided to mix his art with the different codes he had been working with, using forms, colors, music and ideas, and questioning whether communication, politics or art might have a positive influence on the individual mind and the global thought. As the Silk Road seemed to be the beginning of the global market, at the core of it all, a fascination developed into a research, and then into action.
