Arena-Garden

A reclaimed discharge having a lifted clod shape of landscape mingled with the fields at bottom the valley and on the opposite hills.

A new suspended line of horizon which, cut out near things, as the water tower mingled with far presences. A reclaimed discharge having a lifted clod shape of landscape,
confounded with the fields at bottom the valley and on the opposite hills.A new suspended line of horizon that cuts out near things, as the water tower, mingling it with far presences.This new object in the landscape appears as the petrification of a telluric movement that has disjoined the continuous line of the declivity.

The stone skin of Nicosia tells the landscapes of this metamorphosis fixing last result.The covering, starting from the ground, follows the same disposition, but at a certain moment, something happens: an interior energy, the strenght of the reinforced cement, come outside, disjoining the original score, producing a laceration, a displacement. It’s the strenght of the reinforced cement that shows in the shape of bowled beton, so, now the exterior skin appears wrinkled, folding to follow other directions.

The laceration of the covering, revealed by the bowled beton, shows the upside down of the stone plates, the magmatic chaos that has generated the metamorphosis and subsequently has fixed the shape and the colour of the rock.It’s undertakes, so, an adventurous path, an audacious way to treat the stone covering. This path can assume the expression of Marleau-Ponty about “the two sheets of the body”: the inside and the outside of the skin articulated the one upon the other.“It’s not necessary – he writes- a
spectator of your town. It’s sufficient that from one late I see the upside down of the glove applied on the right that I touch the one by the other: The chiasm is this: the reversibility”.
