concrete paving with embedded keys

"Faça aqui", curator Thais Rivitti, Ateliê397, Sao Paulo

 

The original paving of the inner corridor in Ateliê397 was replaced by a concrete floor with embedded keys, randomly distributed, similar to floors seen in sidewalks in front of Brazilian locksmiths. The work also included a new paving for the sidewalk. There, the keys were arranged in parallel lines, equally distanced, all of them oriented to the same direction, towards Ateliê397's front door. Among the keys embedded in the sidewalk, lied the one that opened the front door.
