Atta Unsar (1973)
AP207.S1.1973.PR05
Description:
The project series documents "Atta Unsar", an installation consisting of the text of the Lord's Prayer, in Old High German, written on the top of the wall around the perimeter of an empty dimly-lit room. The installation was initially presented at the Galleria Schema in Florence in 1973. It represents an " 'imposed education' still recalled even after decades." [1] The installation was also presented in the exhibition "About non conscious architecture" at the Galleria Giovanni Bonelli in Milan, in 2017, and in the exhibition "Architecture Naturali/Gianni Pettena" at the Kunst Meran in Meran, also in 2017. The project series contains installation views at the Galleria Schema in Florence, five drawings showing the evolution of the installation design, and correspondence about the project.

Description:
The project series documents "Already Seen Portable Landscape", a performance imagined by Pettena as an aftermath of the "About Non-conscious Architecture" series of photographs. "Once the experience of critical interpretation and documentation of “non-conscious” architecture was concluded, the “already seen” landscapes were kept in a suitcase, in the form of photographs, as baggage that served as a reminder, above all for the person who had had that experience, of the story of a particular moment of readiness to look at physical space in an unconventional way." [1] The project series contains a photograph montage of the pages of the photo album showing the photographs of the project "Non-conscious Architecture" (1972) and a photograph of Pettena with the suitcase containing the album.
