Hold Up architecture

As fallen from the sky, SOUFFLE settles down accidentally in the hotel Griffy courtyard. The collision between this foreign object and  » the space of exhibition » causes a situation of impermanence and imbalance.

“Will” is a textile sculpture where the encounter of volume and lightness creates meeting point under a canopy. The installation gives shade from the sun and creates a tranquil space to stop for a while or to meet with friends. White ribbons form layers for light and shadows to play with and wind will blow life to the structure.
