Something under something above
When we can’t see an object, does it make us more curious or go unnoticed?
Christo and Jeanne-Claude gave an answer: by packing monuments, hiding them from view, they made their presence even more evident.
The same thing happens in everyday spaces, such as our home, with everyday objects. They become sculptures created by the imagination of those who see them. Since their real form is hidden, the objects acquire a new aesthetic value.
Our will is to document the involuntary sculptures that we find in everyday life, the “packaged” objects, to show what is a temporary change in the sensible world. We want to stimulate the observer to go beyond what he sees and imagine what may be under, to explore what becomes an alternative reality.
