Imprint of the future. Architectural fantasy on the theme of “Veduta dell’Anfiteatro Flavio, detto il Colosseo” by Giovanni Battista Piranesi
2020
Have you ever tried to follow Alice down the rabbit hole? She was in search of a gateway, a portal, like every artist that is open for new sources of inspiration. What if the portal also emphasises the question of what we call a sacred space? Is it a Cathedral, a Techno club or the Black Lodge? It’s only one jump away – and by using our own fantasy we can suddenly appear somewhere else.
In this period of global change caused by the climate crisis and a world pandemic, the exploration of these spaces and our interaction within the unknown dimensions is more meaningful than ever. Like a transmission in Solaris by Andrei Tarkowski or like the ponds in Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, artists today continue to create their own portals to worm their own way into reality.
Let’s softly escape and leave for some time, returning in an altered state.
