Biennale di Venezia, Venezia
Installation presented on the occasion of the XII Architecture Biennale in Venice, as part of the CULTURE_NATURE collateral event held in the prestigious "Spazio Thetis".
A PURE CUBE built respecting the golden proportions, closed on four sides and without cover, made up of blocks of Lecce stone. Upon entering the cube, the space is compressed; a buttonhole on one of the edges frames the landscape; the absence of coverage brings the gaze back to the sky, in a vertical projection towards infinity and the grandeur of nature. It is a MESSAGE as an INVITATION to reflection on the too often distorted relationship between man and nature, between space as an architectural concept and natural space, between art and the cosmos. It is a MESSAGE as a SYMBOL of the origin of the world, of historical and cultural memory, inserted within a concrete planning conceived for the time of tomorrow. It is a MESSAGE revealed by the STONE TALE.
