Fragment S
Short description of the work
Slowly fired ceramic square (stoneware clay) up to 1020°. The final result is representing a section in concrete. Therefore, the viewer can touch, feel and connect to the material, and the object itself becomes a documented artefact. Related to the subject, the square with its silent but solid poetry, is directly taking part within the landscape in progress. The goal is to reach an emotional reaction and to transform the unfortunate detachment into a new consciousness. The piece has multiple dimensions, it is a drawing, collage, 3D document.

Out of context corners
Sculptural sunset
Pastel windows
Where memories dance
Textures
Short description of the work
The hardest thing to do is take out architecture out of it’s context especially when it is based around it. Here, through a simple shot of the corner, we see the architectural detail of the Museum of Macedonia.
The modernist white setting of the Museum of Contemporary Art is changed thanks to the entering light of the sunset. Suddenly it gives the building a new colorful character, one that mimics an art piece.
The soft pastel colors in contrast to the harsh concrete, an intertwining in the facade of the student dormitory in Skopje.
Trapped childhood memories in a metal box, a home to laughter and joy, once very close, now forgotten and deteriorating.
The clear blue sky mixes in between the cold grey tones of the facade of the building of the Macedonian Radio, creating a connection between nature and architecture. Isolated from the context of the whole form, this corner gives us a peak into the details of Macedonian modernism.

Re-Building Skopje: The Curations of Past and Present in the ‘Capital of Kitsch’
Short description of the work
Architectural investigation into Skopje provides us with the tools to understand both the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav architectural and political events. The contemporary architecture of Skopje exemplifies of the architectural production in the post-socialist Southeastern Europe and its deeply intertwined relationship with politics. The examination of the re-production of politics and ideology through architectural construction, allows for an insight into events taking place in Skopje today, in the deeply problematic processes of both canceling and negating of the communist past. I study the two reconstructions of Skopje, the post-1963 earthquake period and the contemporary architectural events in the city, and I argue that both projects exhibit the shifting relationships between architecture and politics, as well as its perpetual re-negotiations, and the paramount importance of their contexts in understanding the conjunction of the past and present in the city.

Ho scelto di fotografare l’esterno del Museo di Arte Contemporanea al tramonto per rendere l’immagine più accattivante. In evidenza la grande finestra sporgente ed il soffitto in cemento armato dell’androne
Mi ha immediatamente colpito uno degli interni dell’università. Il marmo bianco sul pavimento e le grandi colonne in cemento rendono l’immagine di grande effetto scenico
La grande finestra sembra sporgere da un bosco di betulle. La fotografia è stata scattata ad un particolare dell’Università Ss.Cirillo e Metodio di Skopje.

Investigating Skopje 2014
Short description of the work
Skopje 2014 is a construction project financed by the Macedonian Government with the superficial aim of strengthening the national identity and the recollection of the antique past. Indeed the construction project serves as a tool for money-laundering and therefore also is the base for the in Macedonia widely spread clientelism. During a monthly stay in Skopje, the authors obtained a picture of the situation. They captured their impressions by the use of imagery and text.

SKOPJE spaces
Short description of the work
Skopje. Una città di frammenti, simbolo della storia macedone che ha subito nel corso degli anni continue e successive metamorfosi. Dopo il terremoto degli anni ’60 il maestro Tange definisce un’idea utopica di una metropoli balcanica urbana caratterizzata da edifici brutalisti di forte spessore. Il mio collage cerca quindi di esprimere in maniera concisa l’idea urbana e architettonica dell’architetto attraverso la rappresentazione di alcuni edifici simbolo assieme allo skyline della città. Tange appare come il deus ex machina che definisce l’assetto del futuro, un’ideale di città moderna con un centro forte, infrastrutture e grandi edifici chiave.
