Bling Brutalism Series
Short description of the work
When Thomas Hirschhorn writes that the crystals stand for ‘the universal, the ultimate and the absolute’ he is arguing that the crystals stand for beauty itself. Here, in the work of author we are confronted by an idea of crystals that can best be described as a bling brutalism. Lumps of concrete are covered with shiny reflective film. The raw surface of the concrete – that reveals itself on the edges and sides of the stones – is animated by the shiny colored film that clings to the surface. The stones shimmer in response to the passing movement of the audience, they dance to any changes in light and with this dance encourage the objects around them to become animated.

Brutally Fractured Patterns
Short description of the work
The disastrous natural and cultural origin of the brutally fractured patterns on the urban map of Skopje, seems to signify a scarified palimpsest of conflicting architectural layers. Nonetheless, to locate a certain historical stratum in the urban development of the city of Skopje as the original urban physiognomy is a highly questionable act. This exit from the architectural realm and the transgression towards traditional embroidery patterns allows us to critically maneuver at a safe distance from conflicting architectural viewpoints and pull the loose threads of the
urban map of Skopje from outside. That way we might employ embroidery as an ornamental way of stitching together historically and politically torn and fractured architectural patterns in new creative contexts. One might ask what is the relation of traditional embroidery and brutalist architecture, is not the escapade into the domain of textiles too safe of a distance to be of any relevance to contemporary theory of architecture ?

A Tame Modernism
Short description of the work
The text proposes a reflection on the dimension of tame modernism. The realization of Kenzo Tange’s project for Skopje is read as evidence of the reconciliation between the heroic dimension and the domestic condition of the project. These two opposite natures, which the fragment of modernity holds together, continue to face each other inside but at the same time propose a possible useful cohabitation to the paths of contemporary architecture.

Skopje’s Mega Block: modern architecture as an art of grafting
Short description of the work
The formative idea of “grafting” or “graftage” is originally a horticultural technique of inserting tissues from one plant to another in order for them to join together and continue to grow as a single plant. The technique of “graftage” in architectural context would mean that a new architecture is being interpolated over an old one, but by a set of treatments used, the different architectural interventions function as a single entity. It is presented in this text in the context of modern architecture of one singular urban block of Skopje.

Short description of the work
Alcuni degli edifici in stile brutalista e modernista di Skopje sono qui scomposti e rivisitati attraverso pattern colorati per offrire una nuova mappa urbana (e personale), sospesa tra memoria e presente. La rigenerazione e rivalutazione in chiave contemporanea del patrimonio architettonico brutalista, avviene qui attraverso un uso politico e poetico del colore (così come utilizzato nella recente “rivoluzione colorata” del Paese, durante le proteste del 2016), con le sue infinite possibilità di reinvenzione e recupero creativo del paesaggio urbano.

Ho affidato questa forma nuova alla fragilità di un palloncino che nel frattempo ha perso il fiato.

Vardar’s Banks
Short description of the work
15 cm of rope River Vardar, Skopje-Macedonia 2009
Action realized for the Workshop “Public Invasion. Derivè in Skopje”, curated by Marco Trulli, in collaboration with Bjcem and Arci Viterbo. “Vardar’s Banks” is an action realized in correspondence of the banks of the river Vardar, in the city of Skopje. The characteristic of this river is that divides in two parts the city: from a side there is the commercialized & gentrificated Skopje, in the hand of Realestate speculation; from the other the poor Skopje, of Roma camps, where marginalised gypsy community live, and where you can still see naked children play at the foot of the river (at least until 2009, year of the action). With this work I have wished to connect and getting the two cities talking. I met a friend in the midpoint of a bridge, each of us took an head of the rope and, keeping the rope tight, we separated by crossing the opposite banks of the river Vardar. The rope was then fixed to the ground.

MEPSO lifting
Short description of the work
Quasi il 10% dei fondi del programma Skopje 2014 è stato impiegato per la costruzione di statue monumentali. La città si è popolata di persone inanimate: santi, poeti, re e guerrieri a cavallo. Nel frattempo le persone vere, con tutte le difficoltà, continuano a esistere.
Il piano di rinnovamento urbano Skopje 2014 comprende molti interventi di ricostruzione delle facciate. Un esempio è il rivestimento eclettico che ha subito l’edificio MEPSO: come in un lifting si sovrascrive prendendo come riferimento un’idea di bellezza generica e fuori contesto.

Short description of the work
L’operazione SK2014 si sta attrezzando per far scomparire testimonianze importanti del modernismo di Skopje. Ma c’è ancora qualche speranza di salvezza nella lotta tra il “bene” e il “lato oscuro”.
Si vuole creare idealmente un dialogo tra il progetto contemporaneo e gli edifici del moderno a Skopje. Una convivenza possibile che porti un valore aggiunto al patrimonio esistente e non il contrario.
L’intento del disegno è fornire uno spunto per cercare di far notare come una seconda vita sia possibile per determinati edifici che caratterizzano Skopje, senza doverne cancellare il carattere originale, basta vederli da un altro punto di vista.
La luna è davvero l’unica speranza per salvaguardare il brutalismo macedone?
Invertire il punto di vista può permetterci di vedere tutto in un’ottica differente.

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.

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.

Short description of the work
The development of an intervention realized on the same spot: before, during and after the excavation of the soil for the future house.
The excavated soil, that was supposed to be filled with the concrete in order to become a proper house foundation but continued to wait that moment, represented my attempt to built a house in the same age in which my father was when he started to build his. Under the influence of weather conditions, the significant amount of already excavated soil has returned back in its original state, leaving the visible traces of previous intervention that took place at the same spot several months earlier. Re-engagement of close friends and family members, in order to re-excavate the soil witnesses of investing, sometimes, Sisyphus effort and patience to overcome current possibilities and chances.

In the second contemporary technological adaptation resulting in a new pattern of air conditioning units that one can see on the façade. Based on two photographs taken by the author in 2016.
