The exhibition that explores the meaning of borders in architecture
At the Magazzino delle Idee in Trieste, images by Roberto Conte and Miran Kambič trace a century of cross-border architecture through visual diptychs that reveal connections, divergences and memories shared.
“Porca China” (china as in porcelain) is a suspended lamp which is definitely out of the ordinary. Made of fragments of Chinese white porcelain statues and chopsticks fastened around a light source, it gives the viewer the sensation of a sudden explosion crystallized in the moment of its happening. The chandelier, which weighs 25 kg and has a diameter of one meter, is the result of painstaking and lengthy craftsmanship. Its auction price begins at 45,000 euro with an additional 2,000 euro per offer up to 4 PM of October 30th. E.S.
