THE WINDOW

Contradictions.
A chaise longue excavated in the concrete wall accurately retraces the body curves to welcome it more comfortably on its cold and hard surface. The head can be leant on the softly padded column rising from the shoulders height. The glass does not open, but its profile attempts to cut out of the wall the visual radius available when laying down. This way the view is optimal when the body is in contemplative position, which however proves to be more obliged than suggested. A contemplation "corner" that is everything but private, located in some city building corridor; a forced pause in the transition space par excellence. A point of protected observation on the outside world, but also a showcase at the same time: immersed in a reality to be watched and lived through a screen and where the private becomes public, we find ourselves laying down on a confused boundary between interior and exterior.
