WHEN THE LOST PLANETARY GARDEN HOSTS THE PARLIAMENT OF BIRDS

WE ARE ALL MIGRANTS NATIVE TO THE UNIVERSE.

A QUANTUM CITY

A CONTRACT CAN ONLY COME ABOUT THROUGH THE CONSTANT PRESENCE OF ANOTHER INSTANCE, OF A THIRD PARTY.

SERRES, ANGELS A MODERN MYTH

LEIBNITZ’S GREAT IDEA IS THAT . . . NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN BE SEPARATED.

THE CONTRACTS SHOW

TEXTUAL TWEETS MEET IMAGE TWEETS

A FLOCK OF TIK-TOKERS LANDED IN PALERMO. THE MAJOR WELCOMED THEM WARMLY. THEY ALL FORGOT WHERE THEY CAME FROM BUT REMEMBERED WHO THEY WERE—PSYCHOLOGISTS, SCIENTISTS, FASHION CONNOISSEURS, SOMMELIERS, ACROBATS, AND SOUND MASTERS. THEY WERE UNSURE WHY THEY LANDED THERE BUT WERE HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND EACH OTHER. DURING A TEXTUAL APÉRO, THE FIRST ACQUAINTANCES WERE MADE, AND CONFLICTIVE POINTS OF VIEW WERE UNFOLDED. IT'S TIME NOW TO BRING COLORS TO THEIR TWEETS.

I SHOW A MOVIE ABOUT THE RITUALS OF MAKING CONTRACTS. I PARADE THE FANTASIES AND AMBITIONS OF THE FLOCK, AND THE CHALLENGES OF MAKING COMPROMISES AND COMING TO AGREEMENTS. I PRESENT WITH EXISTING SCENOGRAPHIES, PROPS, ACTORS, CUSTOMS, ACTIONS, DIALOGUES AND SOUNDS, THE FLOCK'S WAY OF TALKING IN A COMMON HALL. IN THE MOVIE, THE EMBODIMENT OF CONTRACTING WILL BE DISPLAYED.

I ALSO SHOW PANORAMAS OF THEIR HALL FOR THE COMMON FUTURE. WITH THOUSANDS OF IMAGES, I PRESENT EXAMPLES OF HOW THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF THE NEW BUILDING MAY LOOK––ITS WALLS, ROOFS AND OPENINGS; MOODS, TEMPERAMENTS AND SMELLS. I SHOW THE ARCHITECTONIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE GRAVITY AND THE THICKNESS OF THEIR TWEETS. 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 THE ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTION OF THE TIK-TOKERS IN PALERMO.

 

EPISODE 3: ON MODELS:

THE CONTRACT(S) PLAY(S)

AN ARCHITECTONIC STAGEPLAY

ON THE STAGING OF THE CITY

ON THE ICONICITY OF THE PARLIAMENT

ON THE ENACTMENT OF THE CONFERENCE

THE AIR SINGS, THE SEA ROARS, THE GROUND HUMS AS THE BIRDS ARRIVE. YOU ARE STANDING AT THE FORO ITALICO IN PALERMO; THE NEW CITIZENS OF PALERMO, AND YOU. THE HALL FOR THE COMMON FUTURE IS BEING CONCEIVED, IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT.

OF ARRIVING, OF TALKING, OF FLYING;

OF CITYNESS, OF DIPLOMACY, OF WORLDLINESS;

OF A FACE, OF A BODY, OF A CITY;

PALERMO LOOKS OUT TO THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD RETURNS THE FAVOUR. WELCOME BACK TO THE GLOBAL STAGE.

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 CITIZENS ARE BEING SHAPED; CONTRACTS BETWEEN 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.
