In Construction stands in a public square and concerns the problems relating to space both in constitutional terms and in its relationships with the context where it stands, as well as with the people who approach it to activate it with their actions.
The idea is to create spaces which invite interaction as way of helping to raise awareness of the responsibility we as social beings have towards each other. Human relations and the political and social tensions they create symbolically circle the installation. Creating such spaces brings into focus the challenge of other people’s existence, a social and relational dimension. This also sets off the most important of all political questions: how are we going to live together? How will we manage to live together or co-exist?
Space is conceived of as a social dimension in the sense that it is continually shifting, in the process of changing shape and modifying itself.
The work brings to mind the topics researched by Doreen Massey, the contemporary social scientist, in relation to space and its implications, so much so that the analysis moves away from the field of the social sciences towards that of art, specifically articulated in the form of contemporary sculpture.
