Project description
The project "BUILDING SITE" is a metaphorical construction site for the human mind, a recipient of sound and colours that stimulate human cognitive awareness. This is part of a project that has drawn its inspiration from asking questions on the power of imagination. The need to take a more holistic view of the structure of society past and present helps provide the motivation to move beyond the factual, empirical and physical forms of knowledge as determined by traditional logic. There is a clear need for the visual, narrative and spontaneous aspects of imagination to be free of the constraints imposed by existing frameworks. Imagination has indeed an extraordinary potential to stimulate curiosity and the capacity to awaken people’s collective humanity, transcending stereotypes and superficial anxieties. We live in an age in which new ontological notions have brought about widespread instability, where imagination becomes deceitful and negative and is no longer able to reconcile human beings with their spatial surroundings; the result is a reality that tries to dull our senses, imprisoning them in a “net” that eventually leaves us blind.

Descrizione Progetto
Il Mental Worksite è un cantiere mentale rappresentato da una serie di edi¬fici in costruzione.
Project description
The “Mental Worksite” is represented by a series of buildings under construction. They reflect the reality of contemporary society stripped of its decorative frills, of its make-up, masks and its cult of superficial appearance. The “Mental Worksite” is in fact the “Picture of Dorian Gray”, of man, nature and the reciprocal relationship that exists between them; it is a sort of litmus test of the choices made by men that have diminished the ability to imagine, thus compressing and restraining both man’s liberty and creativity within the clutches of global capitalism. This pressure is symbolically represented by a pressure gauge, placed in various buildings.
