The Art of Angles with @ora_ito

Dan Graham will be on show at MAMO starting June 13. To see more from the exhibition, explore the MAMO location page, and to see more from Ito, follow @ora_ito on Instagram.

“Life is a question of angles and how you see things,” says French designer Ito Morabito, who goes by the name of Ora-Ito (@ora_ito). “Everything can have a beauty, it depends on the way you look at it. It’s a bit frustrating to just see one image, but you shouldn’t repeat the same image. I like it when you can give different views. It shouldn’t be linear.”

Ito, who designs everything from furniture to products to architecture to electronics, posts moments from his life in series of three, all conveying his philosophy of “simplexity.” “I think to make something that looks simple is very complex,” he explains, relating the idea to the art of classical dance. “When you see a dancer you don’t realize the work there is behind, it looks so fluid and natural that it’s quite impossible that between every movement there is years of work.”

Two years ago, Ito transformed the rooftop of the iconic apartment complex Cité Radieuse in Marseille into a collaborative art center, and now presents work from a talented contemporary artist there each summer. This year, MAMO (short for MArseille MOdulor @marseillemodulor) will showcase work from New York artist Dan Graham, inviting Instagrammers to document the space starting June 13. “Because it’s outside — where there is different light and reflections – every Instagrammer can show us the different angles and different vision in relation.”
