Thaumasia or The Oblivion dynamic
Sculpture, Architecture, 50x110x40cm
Combining both a study on the funeral urns shaped as a house and mausoleums for men of History, the project Thaumasia or The Oblivion dynamic points out the importance of memory in funeral rites and the recurrence of commemorative
constructions such as the monument throughout the centuries.
Architecture is a field where one can express power and memory. We can talk about speaking architecture, i.e. buildings which, by their shape, give more or less directly what they are or what they are made for. The mausoleum is a perfect example. On different scale, much smaller, the urns – also called urn hut – takes this commemorative function again.
These two types of «eternal homes» are distinguished by their proportions and materials, but are joined by the forms they use and simply by their function.
Near to a study of architectural shapes of memory, those constructions magnify a being after his death. This project revisits with lightness these monuments in the shape of model, near to the decorative item, even to ceramic doll’s house.
