What really happens inside a nightclub toilet in 2022?

People don't like to be observed, in fact, they find it annoying. At the same time, however, she takes great care of her appearance before showing herself to others, because she knows that she will be looked at just as she will look at others first. Within the disco2022 toilet, therefore, we wanted to deal with the theme of voyeurism, in which stolen glances are exchanged, through a mirrored octagonal prism, in a collective gesture, around a large sink. Under a diffused light coming from under the glass tub full of gel, the most unnatural possible, and precisely for this unbalancing, disturbing, halfway between becoming shame or desire. In these years when the gesture of sanitizing your hands has become so common, we wanted to give it a new meaning. The octagonal shape of the washbasin recalls the ritual of the purifying gesture of baptism, since this year, this widespread ritual is consecrated as an emblem of a new nocturnal rebirth, of a new generation. In short, it becomes a new disco musical sacrament.

An individual gesture, in becoming a community, has become an occasion for stolen glances. Someone, in the possibility of seeing others, has become a voyeur.
