Effimero
14th La Biennale di Venezia - invited
U67 has designed and directed the installation for the Léa-Catherine Szacka’s research project “Effimero: Or the Postmodern Italian Condition” within the section Monditalia, on display at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia. The installation has been designed to suggest ideas of theatricality and lightness associated with collective if not hedonistic ephemeral spatial experiences that, by reinvesting historical ruins, industrial and proto-industrial buildings, or entire city centres, marked Italy’s postmodern condition. It is a monumental device, that aims to connect the research project to the scale of the Arsenale. (photos: Valérie Paquette)
