More about Les Racines du Mal

Public space for individual use, Castelo Branco (Portugal) – 2001

Material:
Rough reinforced concrete, galvanized steel structure and lattice

Dimensions:
2.6 x 11 x 15.6 m | 25 m²

Purpose:
Stairway to Heaven gives the individual the opportunity to stage himself. While playing alone in the elevated platform, he dominates a territory as well as he puts himself under others sight. Stairway to Heaven plays on the ambiguity of public and private: it offers a public space for an individual use and utilizes the figure of the collective housing stairway which is a public space within a private property.

Gathering shelter, 2006

Material:
Sectioned steel structure with white enamel, assembled with bolt sleeves, waterproof floodlight, ropes

Dimensions:
9.2 x 6.8 x 8.9 m | 70 m²

Purpose:
This piece of urban furniture aims at structuring a public space by creating micro public space. Unlike an ordinary lighting mast which has a minimal base, Les Racines du Mal has a sprawling base which forms an islet within the public space where people can meet.
