Dwelling

 

Dwelling is a public art project whose purpose is to offer passers by small, temporary spaces to shelter from the daily visual and noise pollution.

 

In this work I created small dwellings, which in turn, were installed in a bigger dwelling (greenhouse). Its translucent surfaces keep the relation to the external reality, although its concrete, defined characteristics dissolve, become defused. By this means the entrance in these dwellings leads us to slowly dissolve reality into the vast landscape of silence.
