ERASED CITY - The Void : the space between two opposites

The video of the transformation of the physical model of the 'Kolumba Museum Excavation Hall' shows that the void (here understood as the space between two planes) is dealing with a tendency between the two opposites (creation and erasure) and involves aspects of temporality.

 

By playing with the relationship between terrain (plaster cast) and ceiling (metal sheet on steel frame), by building up and down the footprints of the ruins of the excavation hall through the addition and removal of cut pieces of wood, metal and additional plaster elements, the void becomes a space for new possible conceptual and physical arrangements.

 

Differentiating from an empty space in that it is not only bound to the physical boundaries, here the process suggests potentiality of gain or loss.
