Slumhouse, 2015 mixed media, 150 × 100 × 50 cm
I propose to deal with slum dwellings as architectural units, segments and building material so that real (monumental) architecture could come out from the combination of individual pieces.
Is a dwelling like this architecture? Maybe it is. Usually it is associated with the term shack, hut, ruin, wreck, etc. The word architecture is therefore probably rather exaggerated. The term shack for me has a touch of handicap, marginality, misery… That is why I am trying to remedy this outsider quality. I want to use the multiplication effect of diversity in a monumental simple architecton where everything is revealed up to the unmistakable unruliness and spontaneity.
Kiosk house, 2015 mixed media, 100 ×150 × 50 cm
Kiosk House — 2004
I propose to deal with kiosks as architectural units, segments and building material so that real (monumental) architecture could come out from the combination of individual pieces.
Is a kiosk as such architecture? Maybe it is. Usually it is associated with the term utility or street furniture. The word architecture is therefore probably rather exaggerated. The term kiosk or booth for me has a touch of handicap, marginality, misery… That is why I am trying to remedy this outsider quality. I want to use the multiplication effect of diversity in a monumental simple architecton where everything is revealed up to the unmistakable wildness and spontaneity.
