closed Pedro Cabrita Reis - D'après Piranesi

The show

Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an eighteenth-century Venetian architect, represents the starting point of the project conceived by Pedro Cabrita Reis for the VOLUME! space. Piranesi was the creator of the "invention construction site", a construction site that was re-proposed by Pedro within the foundation, with the construction of a path delimited by red brick walls and illuminated with cold neon lights.

The layout of the space is a transposition of the mental prisons of our time, from which the artist tries to free himself with decisive blows on the walls, blows that echo in the shards left on the ground as observers pass by. The possibilities are infinite in the instability of the path, the gaps that are created, in turn create uncertainty, but do not preclude the possibility of proceeding towards something different.

It is in the living memory of what has been that one can fight for what will be, in an alternation of construction and destruction, of fragile harmonies and impetuous chaos, thus Pedro symbolizes the passage of times.
