Join Tom Polo for a guided walkthrough of Living Thing, an immersive design lounge that reimagines the social logic of the piazza within a contemporary art and design context. Anchored by artworks curated by Polo alongside a selection of MOBILIA’s pieces, the installation expands his exploration of human connection into the built environment, where emotional resonance and spatial awareness shape experience.
Following the discussion at the MOBILIA Design Lounge, visitors are invited to continue to the STATION booth (H8), where Polo will speak about his practice and latest body of work.
Working between abstraction and figuration, Polo’s paintings blur the boundaries between self and other, masking and revealing the complexities of our inner worlds. Drawing on close observation, social encounters and personal histories, Polo’s practice traces the emotional and performative relationships between people across social, theatrical and psychological space.
Location: MOBILIA Design Lounge (FutureObjekt E10), then STATION Booth H8
