The breif called for a design of a street side pavillion for display of art during the art festival, exploring the theme of 'truth' and 'illusion' - the theme of the festival. Also the other concerns were easy assembling and dissembling, context of the city, etc. We two, went over this for 2 weeks... The questions of ‘Truth’ and ‘Illusion’ have been the basis of human existence, and every human being has his own definition of truth and lies, based on his/ her experience... In "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL-II", the dichotomy existence of truth and illusion has been the main guiding force... In the present context, ‘The act of experiencing an art form’ is the only ‘TRUTH’ and the whole world existing outside this, as in absence of truth, becomes the ‘ILLUSION’... This a structure which contains two layers/skins to enhance this experience of TRUTH and ILLUSION...A. The INFORMED SKIN
B. The DEFORMED SKIN.
The INFORMED skin is the inner skin which when erected forms the backdrop for the display of various forms of art, thus it contains andfacilitates the TRUTH... The DEFORMED skin is the outer layer which plays with various level of transparencies and opaqueness along withdistortion to distort the TRUTH (of experiencing the art) and presents this to the outsiders as an ILLUSION.
The STRUCTURE consists of modules of 1m x 2.4m, which can be folded down as shown. These modules can be combined together and the whole space be built with relative ease. The SKINS are so structured that they facilitate easy dismantling/ collapsing of the structure. The floor module could have lock-able wheels below, so that the movement of the structures is also easy.
