Venice-based design practice Omri Revesz created a collapsable Street Cinema installation, open in occasion of the 74th Venice Film Festival. In the daytime, the pavilion functions as an urban island, a meeting place and open-air theater, while at night it turns into an open-air cinema. Street Cinema is a public multimedia installation that revisits the mechanisms for the direct spread of information, emerged during the early Soviet period in Russia, where, among other artistic practices, cinema was considered the most powerful instrument of political and social representation.

 

The pavilion is comprised of a collapsible modular wooden structure, held together by metal elements inspired by the logic of Russian constructivism. The structure expands and adjusts to the activity being held in the pavilion, be it a conference, screening, artistic performance or spontaneous stop. The curtain mechanism allows for activities happening in the space to be visible or hidden from the outside.
