corpo atelier vanishes the line between architecture and sculpture in their new apartment
corpo atelier has renovated a studio apartment in vilamoura, portugal, nearly vanishing the line between architecture and sculpture. inside a white box, three differently configured yellow objects are individually placed. as an immediate consequence, one´s physical experience of the previously empty space has been dramatically altered. the perception of a person´s movement, of the box´s limits and of the position of the yellow objects is now inevitably intertwined.
Â
Â
under closer inspection, the pieces? shapes might resemble an abstraction of the classical architectural elements: an architrave, a fallen column and a plinth, arranged separately as a puzzle, only to be revealed when mentally placed together, evoking the experience of a site-specific sculptural piece that engages with the containing space of a gallery room. or perhaps, these yellow objects only hold objective value as pieces of furniture, produced to store other smaller objects both inside and on them.
Â
Â
in such scenario, their arraignment might be justified simply as a naive attempt to create some kind of spatial hierarchy in a wall-less apartment, marking and defining different areas according to a specific domestic use: an entrance hall, a central living room and a bedroom with a panoramic view. it´s never truly clear which of these possibilities might be accurate, or, if any actually is.
