​PRINCIPLE OF RUINS, 2016

2x8 CNC-milled 1" foams, some covered with stucco and marble vinyl tiles, 9x8 mylar floor, 4 min video on monitor

​Principle of Ruins is based on Albert Speer’s, Hitler’s architect, theory of the ruin value, whereby he designed buildings to fall into beautiful ruins.
​
​The video uses light and projections to perform the fascist architectural projects. Surrounding the video, are fragments of our own technological ruins. The CNC-cut foams take their shape from glitches on the panoramic function on the iPhone. The technologies that offer to clarify the reading of history, end up obscuring it.
