Being Mutina

Over two decades, Mutina has transformed ceramics into emotion, blending artisanal tradition with contemporary design. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the company looks back at this journey, affirming its role as a pioneering voice in the world of ceramics and design.

The Being Mutina project tells this extraordinary story through the unique and poetic vision of Brigitte Niedermair, an internationally renowned Italian artist and photographer. In her work, echoes of classical art resonate in a contemporary language, turning each image into a timeless piece and offering a fresh perspective on Mutina’s iconic collections. Ceramics, once a simple object of desire, become the true protagonist of emotional spaces.

At Mutina, each collection embodies a universe of encounters, reflections, and experimentation, where art and design intertwine to shape surfaces, forms, and colours that tell unique stories.

The twenty-four photographs and their installations represent the starting point of Brigitte Niedermair’s photographic work: we invite you to explore a world where beauty reveals itself through light and texture - in a perfect balance of form and function.

Being Mutina is not just an aesthetic celebration, but a cultural journey that intertwines past and future, once again emphasizing the value of experimentation and innovation in the Mutina world.

Brigitte Niedermair

Brigitte Niedermair has made photographs for over twenty years, spanning independent artistic enquiry and fashion image-making. Since the 1990s, her projects have centered on the meaning of identity, the affect of representing the female body, and the agency of viewership. More broadly, Niedermair’s approach to photography has been a constant exploration of time and memory that reflects onto the languages of the history of art.

Her work has been shown internationally, with monographic exhibitions. Her fashion images have been featured in international publications including CR Fashion Book by Carine Roitfeld, Harper’s Bazaar, Wallpaper*, Dior Magazine, W, Citizen K, and Vogue Italia. Her works are included in private collections, museums and public institutions in Italy and abroad. She lives in Merano and works in Paris, Milan.

 

“I thought that each designer had worked on a story, and that each one could be told in a different way. I had never had the opportunity to create something so bold in my sets: rooms that are not meant to contain objects or people, but only light. Imagining places meant to evoke a desire or a feeling, I allowed surprise to take hold of me.”
