Interview with Formafantasma, designers of Exposition Générale

30 Oct 2025
The staging of Exposition Générale, by Studio Formafantasma, reveals the exhibition apparatus itself, reinventing the social and experimental dimension of the “General Exhibitions” and other commercial events that once paralleled transformations in museum practices.
The textile equipment—modular fabric structures mounted on aluminum profiles, complete with integrated lighting—guide visitors through the exhibition’s works and signage.
For Exposition Générale, Formafantasma has developed a three-dimensional design that interacts with the building’s dynamic architecture, making use of its multiple viewpoints and expansive heights.
Founded in 2009 by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, the Milan-and Rotterdam-based studio grounds its design work in the study of the historical, political, and social forces shaping the discipline today.
