	Spirit Level



	Protractors to measure an exact angle, spirit levels that confirm the horizon, compasses that point towards the North. Throughout history we have developed tools that reassure us of a rational and measurable world. Spirit Level is presented as an instrument that differs from our expectations of stability. The bubble in the vial is fixed in the irregular tool unable to meet with the horizon. The ‘measuring’ talisman will give us the power to respond to an unpredictable world, where laws and rationale are yet to be understood. Spirit Level was commisioned for Talisman, Contemporay Symbolic Objects, a group exhibition organised by In Residence and curated Barbara Brondi and Marco Raino. The show, presented at Palazzo Clerici during the Design Week 2017at Milan, featured a collection of talismans, one-of-a-kind pieces made for the occasion by 46 designers. The exhibition was followed by an auction organized by Swedish auction house Örnsbergsauktionen.
