In July 2015 the Korean artist Min Ji Kim has realised a site-specific installation inside some parts of the Colonia (Eng.: summer camp building): We or They.
We or They: not a disjunctive duality, but an interrogation.
The presentation of the smoke-colour in the Colonia puts into relation the structure of the geometric shapes-volumes of Gellner’s architecture and the ephemeral organic volume that, before scattering inside it, redefines space, in that dialectical relation.
Full and empty. Heavy and light. Mobile and still.
Present and alien.
What is alien? What was, and still is? Or what is to come?
