Pierre di Sciullo: escaping from order
Working with two people in his studio, because small is beautiful, Pierre di Sciullo wants to stay concentrated on the creative process more than the business side. How can one design, draw, touch and not only make phone calls, hold meetings and give good advices to others?
"I like to work on different themes and levels, it's the answer to my desire for a better understanding of society, but I'm never satisfied. At the same time I wonder if I should restrain the lines, to simplify the actions and moderate the dilution of my concentration. I balance between the spirit of curiosity - to discover new social landscapes and people involved in REAL projects of construction and transmission - and my needs of creator - the freedom, the autonomy, the inutility. I try to preserve sensuality inside the systems, I mean to escape from grids and order."
About Pierre
