Ugo La Pietra – Disequilibrating System explores the radical vision of Ugo La Pietra, a key figure in art, design and architecture over the last 60 years. The documentary reconstructs the journey of an author who used every available medium to develop his “disequilibrating system”: a way of creating against the system and stereotypes, aimed at evolving the individual through new forms of perception.

Architect, artist and designer, La Pietra is a unique case. He has held more than 1,000 exhibitions, won two Compasso d’Oro awards, produced 13 artist films, published over 300 volumes, designed more than 2,000 objects and created 3,000 paintings; he has also taught at universities, directed magazines and played the clarinet in Milan’s clubs.
