Exhibition Production Roscianach Habibi Minelli and Sky Venice

The exhibition is the narration of an architectural story, in a setup similar to that of a movie theatre, where the lights are low and where the viewers come in contact with successions of bright images. Still, the linear and one-directional flow of the images in front of a static viewer is here replaced with a rhizomatic narration where the viewer becomes a navigator who can follow different paths, constructing to a degree his/her own experience while influencing the experience of others.

These linear elements, being truly rhizomatic can be found crawling at different locations in Venice, ‘pointing’ the way to the Cyprus exhibition.

The story is actually an architectural fiction movie. Architectural not only because its raw material are images from the built environment, but also, and mainly, because the montage techniques used to ‘stitch’ these images together comment on the way the built environment is designed and experienced.

Fiction because the architectural ‘story’ told is made up by montaging together seemingly unrelated pieces of existing, remembered or proposed designs.

Movie because the viewer is transformed into a navigator.

It so happened that hardly any encounters between people have been captured by the images taken for the purpose of ‘constructing’ the story. Still, while the depiction of encounters of people in architecture does not happen through the material exhibited,

Architects & Projetcs

a number of different encounters do take place in and through the exhibition itself.

The visitor is indeed warned that by entering the exhibition, he/she may end up being engaged in encounters in architecture, despite the architecture, for architecture, but more importantly, because of the architecture. Some of these meetings involve the visitor, the projects presented and their architects, while other encounters take place between the visitors themselves.

This last type is encouraged if not dictated by the rotating linear elements which require some kind of coordination between the visitors.

Another type of encounter occurs between the exhibited projects themselves. The visitor basically walks through ‘an architectural fiction movie which comments on how architectural entities ‘socialize’. The architectural landscape presented exists, but only through the montage techniques used to create it.
