Void. 
Lack of definition. Change. Ethics that turn into aesthetics.
A rugged space. Devoid of unequivocal connotations, inside an early XX century building.
House, studio, gallery integrated into a total programmatically fluid unity. The classic typology of that early of the early XX century flat – a succession of rooms giving on and aisle – is kept as it is yet it is, yet it is ideally deconstructed. The pureness of the project erases any  dogmatism. The organic non-place, being open to change and different activities, is alive and pulsating.

​

Era: as past, as epic, as intelligence.

Walls are scruffy peeled off their original skin, they get a new changing one. Furnishing is limited to very few pieces: elongated mirrors, sharp-edged furniture pieces, wardrobes that tell of different moves through the different collage of their exteriors.

​

The rarified pureness of the project clashes with the brutality of the decadence, either real or recreated. Mistakes far from being avoided, are welcomed as a catalysis to be creative process; extreme strictness works as an anectode laissez-faire. What is not there, what has been brought away defines the space just like what has been left. Working in the subtraction multiple possibilities – of use and interpretation – in place of reducing them.

The poetics of scarification denies stillness. One year from now everything could be different.
