BARRIERA PER ABILI

Museo Sperimentale di Città S.Angelo, Pescara, Italy, 2001

Architectural barriers are the mirror of a society that pays little attention to diversity.This work aims to reflect on what can become an obstacle for someone.The work designed for the museum intervened directly on the structure of the building by lowering the entrance door.The door, brought to a height of 158 cm from the ground, becomes an obstacle for visitors of ‘normal’ stature’: an architectural barrier for the able-bodied.The work was filmed during the inauguration with a fixed camera.The video is the documentation of how the visitors related to this unexpected obstacle.
