The walls of the Sala di Scultura, which translates as the Sculpture Room, are wrapped with a wallpaper depicting digital drawings of the yet-to-be-seen coup de grâce and photographs of its physical model shown at a scale of 1:1.Ĭhristian Kerez, Incidental Space, 2015, Photography. Swiss architect Bruno Giacometti's modern pavilion structure becomes the stage for Kerez's architectonic exploration. In an effort to reject the celebration and propogation of architecture's status quo, the Swiss architect instead opts to examine and challenge modes of production by doing. By removing the burden of regulations within the safety net created by the Biennale, Kerez tests the limits of technical processes and the imagination with a demonstration of pure research in physical form.Ĭhristian Kerez, Incidental Space, Installation View, Swiss Pavilion at the 15th Architecture Exhibition.
