La casa bianca
Sculpture, Symbol / Letter, Textile, 26x35x2cm
A story dedicated to Anteo Radovan’s exhibition space 'Casabianca', in the countryside near Bologna, Italy.
The story tells of a house that is so white that neither its edges nor borders can be distinguished. Depending upon meteorological conditions, the house camouflages itself with natural elements (sun, moon, rain, fog, etc.), remaining invisible. Externally it reflects light strongly; internally it generates a softened white ambient, impossible to define according to geometrical references.
The house is overused for its unique characteristics and begins to lose its whiteness until it becomes an extremely normal white country house.
In the end, 'artists' arrive who artificially reactivate its characteristics.
A combination of text and sign/symbol characterizes the book: each embroidered/sewn page contains its negative sign on the reverse.
(English translation Laurie Schwartz)
