Installation 7x7

purple felt and porcelain
One piece of art, with more than three hundred houses, on an area of approximately 400 m². The houses in each seven by seven matrix are identical. The houses in each of the nine ‘neighbourhoods’ have the same basic house form, but are made out of different materials: wood, marble, glass, galvanized iron, purple felt, corten steel, gold leaf, and clay.

Rhode put down a layer of sand on the floor of the 11-story atrium. The houses were then arranged. Two big newspaper collages, in the shape of a house, give the whole installation a space filling effect. With this the shape of the installation is rebuild. A tension occurs when move yourself around the installation.

Because of the way the houses are placed and the different materials that are used, light and shadows change to whole time and give the installation a constantly different variation. The house can be seen as one shape, but at the same time as a ‘whole’ were shapes smoothly flow in to each other.
