CONCEPT
What role does the gaze play in a condition of total openness?
What does designing an open air space mean?
How are new meanings created in an empty space?
Through «disorder», a multifaceted concept opposing to static order, imperfect and impossible, new meanings are able to emerge. “Disorder†is a continuous, non-linear movement, an uninterrupted flow, a fracture in the course of history.
«Disorder» is disharmony, but precisely because of this, «disorder» is free expression: following contradictions, changes and perturbations can allow new and unexpected ideas and possibilities to emerge.
Disorder, then, as a source of inspiration for art and photography and as a source of “openness†new connections. In this context public spaces can support creativity in the urban areas that become exhibition venues, like white canvases upon which to draw one’s thoughts.
