In an unlikely space, Mauro Contesini creates a garden reminiscent of his grandmother's house

Mauro Contesini - Mezzetino Staircase. "The access ramp that connects the two floors of CASACOR has been transformed into a place of contemplation in Mauro Contesini's project. Plants that bring back memories of grandmothers' houses, such as ferns, maidenhair ferns and coleus, make up the space's vegetation. The lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere. "By taking advantage of the amber light, we created an atmosphere that feels like a sunset. A poetic way of welcoming visitors," he says. At the entrance, the Mezzetino sculpture by artist Sônia Menna Barreto gives the space its name. (Divulgação)
