ARCH286670
Description:
This item contains harmful materials including violent and racist imagery. The drawing illustrates an installation involving a crane on which a net filled with mannequins is suspended; the mannequins are painted black, in the words of the designers, to represent the impacts of oil spills on the global population. This image, however, suggests violence beyond environmental disasters.

Projet
AP207.S1.1989.PR02
Description:
The project series documents "Mappe Recinti Itinerari Territori", a rug made of eleven small tapestries hand-woven together. Pettena designed this rug for a special production for "Megalopoli" in 1989. Each of the tapestries represent four subjects: itineraries, territories, maps and enclosures. These subjects "are the means required for the definition of space inside or outside those “magic circles” that are the walls of a city, the beginning of a construction, as the rituals that are performed inside any enclosure take on a unique quality and role, different from whatever lies beyond this boundary." [1] The project series contains a reference photograph and photo montages of the eleven small tapestries forming the rug.

Dreaming Architecture (2016)
AP207.S1.2016.PR01
Description:
The project series documents "Dreaming Architecture", a digitally created performance by Pettena in 2016. The performance consists of a photograph of a long baroque art gallery. Added to the photograph is an image of Pettena seated with legs crossed draped in a robe. Pettena appears to be floating in the middle of room. The project is a reference to "Il Mestiere Dell'Architetto" (2002) that represents the difficulties and possible impasses in architecture. However here "the symbolic interpretation of architecture is here ideally transformed by overcoming, in the dream, the difficulties and restrictions of choices and paths, as well as the risks of mistakes and downfalls." [1] The project series contains a photograph of the performance.
