The project was born from a reflection on the places and perception of the invisible Orsini castle, the entire building has been reduced to a diorama, a gesture that condenses its complexity into a controlled vision. On the contrary, an opposite action was carried out at Palazzo Chigi: the tiles from the prison bathroom, a usually hidden space, were borrowed. This very simple gesture changes and immediately puts the perception of the place and talks about proximity, about what happens when a space becomes a mirror, or when something touches us so closely that it forces us to change perspective.
