iVY at ECC Biennale in Venice

iVY is participating in the ECC biennale under the title Time Space Existence in Venice, Italy.

The projects exhibited share some common themes. House K and the Whisper in the Forest are informed by the simple figure of the section as a device to create intimate conditions. The intricate sectional compositions interact with light and views. Both projects remain silent and merge with the context, giving little explanation of the secrets they hold within. It requires a visitor to engage, to dare to enter, in order to discover their mysteries.

Ashanti Domino Installation and S+L House become inhabited settings to the landscape. Both play mischievous games that challenge one's perception. In the former, shifting the views between three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional images alters the experience of the site, as the seemingly random shapes and colors merge into the silhouette of Le Corbusier's Mason Dom-Ino. In the latter, the ideas of the original house are recaptured, connecting to its beautiful landscape through a series of artful reflections. The reflected views scatter into the abstracted segments, altering the depth of space and stimulating playful interactions.

Each project is explained through a carved model that synthesizes its essence and a brief booklet for the visitors to take.

The work is currently being exhibited in Palazzo Bembo and will be up until December 2021.
