It is a project on life and death, the duality of our existence. A ritual, which bridges one and the other. A loved one has passed away, and friends and relatives give the last goodbye. There is a precise choreography, a sequence of scenes, that builds up a transition:
Conjoined in the last pilgrimage the one in mourning carries an urn with the bodily vestiges on the heart, held in a scarf-like garment, and wanders transiting from the city to the open, st. pietersberg, where an edifice is awaiting, mediating between close and open, east and west, dawn and dusk.
Meaningful in its structural expression of our human beings’ state of mind and corporeality, between balance and imbalance, the edifice builds up a place for the last release.
There is a tactile making of the urn and the scarf, and there is the edifice at its place, which is imaginatively shown by models in its sloping setting. There is a striving for what is essential, consequently, all architectural elements are reduced to a minimum, which challenges the very structural making.
