Untitled, from the project Tapiar Buenos Aires [Brick-up Buenos Aires]

Sculpture, ceramic, several modeling and masonry techniques.

The sculpture — a brick wall suspended in the air 
— is part of Tapiar Buenos Aires [Brick-up Buenos 
Aires], an ongoing project that started with a survey of all the façades in the city whose openings were somehow blocked. By obstructing and/or preventing access to the interior space, these bricked-up walls contradict one of the fundamental purposes of the 
architectural practice, thus becoming objects of contemplation, like ephemeral monuments that create a changing, unpredictable heritage that the city generates unknowingly.
This piece is constructed from a structure made of resin and fiberglass, with a series of 5 mm ceramc bricks. Some of these bricks take a curved form, which seeks to evoke both the lightness and flexibility of a piece of fabric while highlighting the contradiction between the apparent permanence of a bricked-up façade and its ephemeral condition, linked to its future demolition.
