The third edition of the street exhibition “Over the Under”, which involves the Metroweb manholes of Via Monte Napoleone and Via S. Andrea in Milano, closed with the charity auction in favour of Oxfam Italia of all the 24 manholes, interpreted by a selection of luxury brands whose stores look over one of these two streets, in the heart of Milan’s luxury shopping neighbourhood.
Prada’s manhole is inspired by a gyre, characteristic of the fluids converging into a well or a drain. Likewise, as a cyclone is a gyre of air or a nebula is a gyre of stars, Prada’s manhole interpretation recalls that the Metroweb manholes are a gyre of data, distributing pulses of light into an unceasing spiral of information.
