My name is Federico and i was born in Italy.
MANIFESTO
- People aren’t brands: do not require, enable or encourage one-dimensionality in other people or yourself.
- Creation without guilt: start things without knowing where they’re going and don’t feel bad about it.
- People aren’t brands: coherence isn’t a distinctive human trait.
- Creation without production: you’re allowed to create things that are not and will never be products.
- People aren’t brands: cognitive dissonance can distort your perception of others and yourself.
- Public Display of Imperfection: be as publicly flawed as your life allows.
- People aren’t brands: resolve to be an agent of nuance, averse to extremes and joyfully convoluted.
- True is better than cutesy: truth is often found in the ugly, the rotten, the broken – all things that make us uncomfortable.
- People aren’t brands: you’re allowed to change your mind, yourself and your environment. Allow the same to others.

I can not get over the pink & the dolphin in the toilet. It’s not cute, it’s nightmarish.
I am so glad you took one for the team & ventured in so no one else ever needs to.
I’m glad you appreaciated it, Ebe, especially considering that I will never be able to sit on the toilet again without having the creeps

omg. a true nightmare.
I’m so sorry you had to endure that, but it made for an entertaining read :)
Xx.
I know, I’m a hero, right?
I had to read this post again, it was an unforgettable experience.
I agree, I can’t believe we survived it!
Hi Fede, I just found your blog…I think your post is hilarious! I remember seeing the exhibition but I didn’t go, as the whole experience of a totally pink world, would scare and scar me!
I know Victoria, it was indeed scary, but someone had to made the sacrifice and document all those horrors ;-P
