NOMADIC SETTLERS CODE

👾

STRAIGHTEN OUT, RESOLVE A PROBLEM

CALM, RELIEVE

COME TO REST; FALL

MAKE ONE'S HOME

OBJECTS DO NOT OCCUPY SPACE, THEY OPEN IT, THEY MAKE IT POSSIBLE;

IN A FOREST, TREES DO NOT OCCUPY SPACE, THEY OPEN THE SPACE.

WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH OBJECTS.

WE ONLY EVER INHABIT THINGS.

THE OBJECTS HOUSE OUR BODY, OUR GESTURES.

THEY ATTRACT OUR GLANCES.

THINGS MAGNETIZE THE DOMESTIC SPACE, MAKING IT A FIELD OF CONSTANTLY UNSTABLE FORCES

– A WEB OF SENSITIVE INFLUENCES THAT SETS US FREE ONLY WHEN WE HAVE CLOSED THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE.

HOME IS CALLED THAT SPACE IN WHICH ALL OBJECTS EXIST AS SUBJECTS - EMANUELE COCCIA

SETTLING SHOW

TEXTUAL FIGURES MEET IMAGE FIGURES

KATI MEETS TAKESHI AT HER HOME IN HELSINKI.

"THE SOUP HAD TOO LITTLE SALT IN IT," HE SAYS.
"PERHAPS THE RAIN WATERED IT DOWN. IT HAD CABBAGE AND POTATOES, ANYWAY," SHE REPLIES.

KATI AND TAKESHI HAVE TALKED FOR WEEKS ABOUT THE WORLD THROUGH ITS FLOWERS, ASHTRAYS, TANGO, RIVALRIES AND FLIRTS. KATI LOVES A GOOD OLD LIGHTBULB TO STAY WARM DURING WINTER NIGHTS. TAKESHI LIKES THE BURSTS OF VIOLENCE FUELED BY STAMINA. I COLOR THEIR TALKS.

I SHOW A MOVIE ABOUT COMING HOME. I PARADE KATI'S PRIVATE FANTASIES AND FEARS, AND THE CHALLENGE OF HOSTING TAKESHI AND HIS WORLDVIEWS. A MOVIE ABOUT PUBLIC CURIOSITY AND AGITATION DURING THE DAY, AND INTIMATE DREAMS AND SEDIMENTS AT NIGHT. I PRESENT KATI'S WAY OF BEING AT HOME WITH EXISTING SCENOGRAPHIES, PROPS, ACTORS, CUSTOMS, ACTIONS, DIALOGUES, AND SOUNDS. IN THE MOVIE, THE EMBODIMENT OF SETTLING WILL BE DISPLAYED.

I ALSO SHOW PANORAMAS OF KATI'S HOME IN HELSINKI. WITH THOUSANDS OF IMAGES, I PRESENT EXAMPLES OF HOW THE PUBLIC FACE OF THE BUILDING MAY LOOK––ITS COLORS, PROPORTIONS AND MATERIALS––AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR ELEMENTS––ITS WALLS, CEILINGS AND OPENINGS. I SHOW THE ARCHITECTONIC CONSEQUENCES OF GRAVITY, AND THE THICKNESS OF KATI'S RITUALS FOR SETTLING DOWN. FROM THE PANORAMAS, THE BODY OF THE BUILDING WILL BE ENGENDERED.

WITH THOUSANDS OF MOVIES FROM PARADIS🍅, THE SEARCH INSTRUMENTS PANORAMAS OF CINEMA🍿, 🔘SEARCH 0MORE AND MARK🖍, IMAGES FROM DIFFUSION MODELS, AND PANORAMAS FROM PANORAMA🎛APP, I QUALIFY MY ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTION IN HELSINKI.

 

EPISODE 3: ON MODELS:

THE SETTLING PLAY(S)

AN ARCHITECTONIC STAGEPLAY

ON THE ICONICITY OF THE HOUSE

ON THE TEMPERAMENT OF THE RITUALS

ON THE COMPOSURE OF THE DOMESTICITY

HELSINKI WAKES UP TO A NEW HOUSE.

KATI AND TAKESHI WAKE UP TO A NEW HELSINKI.

YOU STAND WITH THE THREE OF THEM LOOKING AT A SMALL RED HOUSE IN THE HERMANNI BOROUGH.

OF LAUGHING, OF TALKING, OF LIVING;

OF DOMESTICITY, OF RITUALS, OF LIFE;

OF NEIGHBOURS, OF RESIDENTS, OF ALIENS;

VENTS STEAM, QUIETLY

BIRDS CHIRP, SHYLY

SNOW FALLS, WEIGHTLESSLY

FLOWERS BLOOM, LOUDLY.

I LOCATE THE TALKS, THE MOODS, AND THE COLOURS;

I STAGE THE RITUALS, THE GAMES, AND THE SCENES;

I PLAY THE SCALES, THE RHYTHMS, AND THE FACADES.

THE CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE ARE BEING SHAPED;

TEXT AND IMAGE,

HEARING AND SEEING,

GRAVITY AND SKY.

A PLAY IS PAINTED, ASSEMBLED, AND SCULPTED.

A PLAY OF SCREENS, OBJECTS, AND MATERIALS.

A PLAY WITH GAMES, MODELS, AND FORMATS.
