A modernistic public leisure area is being entered.
A garbage picker and a bag filled with dried orange peels is carried.
Trash on the ground is picked up and replaced with an orange peel.
A high concentration of trash / orange peels can be detected at the edge of greenery, as well as around concrete benches.
Spazio Cura is a spatial, curatorial practice driven by a sense of care. Spazio Cura develops performative scenarios for public space and idiosyncratic architectural contexts.
Spazio Cura approaches architecture as an ever-evolving agglomeration of built and unbuilt elements, as well as living and non-living agents. Spazio Cura considers space in a holistic and sensitive way while embracing it as a whole, aiming to find delicate entry points for soft, yet potent interventions. Space-making is not seen as the necessity to demolish or build new volumes, rather as an act of care for the existing, of revealing hidden spatial potential and bringing forth a new aesthetic.
