Architecture pierced

The combination of reciprocal sensory interferences becomes a compositional tool: sight, hearing and touch take turns in a succession of indefinite and simultaneous spatial perceptions. Surface, sound and body are represented - like space, time and force - by a geometrical shape that, while strict, logical and coherent, is contaminated by raw material seen as the only element reconnecting to the existential space.

Walls sliding on the outside.

Our senses are induced to perceive the body-architecture in an analytical way - with the viewer having, instead of the precise (removed) sight imposed by an obliged vision, an experience of total perception.

Time becomes the primordial medium in the reading of the body as fragmentation dismantles the unity of the object and reveals its objective reality, constantly changing with the movements of the different architectural parts.

The tear in the body's skin becomes the pierced place enabling the communication between inside and outside. The "raw material" is an alien, contaminating element, a penetrating force that moves; by moving it evokes the sense of touch as a real reminder of its presence and emanates the sounds expressed by its material being: the sounds produced by a concrete panel are different from those produced by a wood panel, just like a steel panel is different from a plastic panel.
