Una Stanza
Furniture makes a room habitable, useful, and familiar. The wooden structures inspired by traditional cabinet-making techniques provide a narrative skeleton, while the fabrics fill in the body. The objects have a familiar appearance with archetypal shapes but the destabilizing replications of the angles reinforce their strangeness.
The viewer is confronted with an intriguing sensation of “Unheimlichkeit”, the familiar as unfamiliar, as it reveals alternative realities : the physical presence of the works intertwined with the thoughts and memories that they represent.
