A timeline that gathers all events from the origin of the idea to its realization: a story in the making.
Municipality of Suzzara, Park of San Colombano, Po riverbank,
Sweet Home is a site specific installation, commissioned by the Museum of Suzzara Prize.
Located in the green area between the main embankment and the Po, in the territory of Suzzara the installation follows the archetypal image of the house and the ark at the same time, merging these two ideals into a single sculpture in CorTen. It is a square-plan structure with a hut roof with a double opening in the longitudinal direction; it does not rest on a pedestal, but directly on the lawn.
The installation will be anchored to the ground so that, with the frequent flooding of the golenal zone, it can be raised according to the flow of water from the river. From time to time, the Po will play an active part in the arrangement of the work which, full after full, will change position, angle and orientation. In this way, the work will become an integral part of the Golenal landscape, establishing a dialogue with it.
The river landscape of the Po offers the possibility of a direct comparison with the reality: in front of the site where the work will be realized are real houseboats moored.
