Each project is an opportunity to ask ourselves questions and try to provide answers. On this occasion, the key question was to understand the meaning of a place dedicated to the art of cinema, especially before the pandemic. In search of an answer to this question, the project turned towards the relationship between reality and fiction, brought to life by the magic of film. Accompanying this much-needed return to normality, introducing users to the world of cinema.
Therefore, the project creates a space or, more accurately, sequences of spaces that do not take on a static, fixed image, but on the contrary, a dynamic image that is individually interpreted depending on the point of view of the observer, who experiences the scenery of a new beginning suspended between nature and artificiality.
The design experience allows us to test the effectiveness of new categories and new methods, such as sequence, event, film editing, but above all, the user’s movement in space, allowing them to experience space from their own perspective. Their own point of view depends on the eyes observing them and creates the effect of open work.
