Thank you to everyone who joined us for Anonima last night!
-
The set we created was designed to evoke the feeling of being inside a MOTEL room. The fabric used throughout the space directly referenced the motel itself, guiding us toward the bed, the iconic object that anchored the entire atmosphere.
This concept was the result of a collaboration between @anonima________._ // @monicaforte_@weareknownstudio // @selinache@kdtheqt@apstudio.design // @alexadaniellepolanco
The immersive soundscape was developed in collaboration with @richard_floyd_music who composed a piece that transports us into the intimate space of a motel room through layered ambient sounds and a heartbeat-like rhythm.

Romèr, the Italian-French duo of @richard_floyd_music and @_____lagatta blends chanson française, nu-disco, and French touch into a refined, sensual soundscape.

Anonima is an ongoing participatory project that explores the idea of “non-places” through a series developed across different cities. The first two chapters, set in Milan and Los Angeles, form a continuous editorial body: the Milan book focuses on small bars as spaces of intimacy and cultural identity while the Los Angeles volume shifts toward motels as symbolic landscapes of urban and psychological transition.
In Nyc, both books are presented together for the first time through an immersive launch featuring a sound performance by @romer__music , conceived as a sonic reading of the texts, where voice, sound and space merge to bring the books to life.
See you on Sunday, May 3rd from 7PM
at The Cell - Armada, 86 Orchard St.
We’ll be there with love ❣️
