Palindrome

In 2014, I built a wooden cabin from discarded art-transport crates and lived there for six months while finishing my doctoral thesis in physics. It was a space for concentration, inhabiting and working.

Eleven years later, I built a new cabin. It is not an exact reconstruction of the earlier one, but a continuation: it retains its scale, precarious character and the idea of a space built from the need to make and think.

The new structure is made from materials accumulated in my studio. The cabin turns this dispersed matter into architecture and brings two distant moments of my practice into relation.

The time separating the two cabins is part of the work. The second does not replace the first: it returns to it, shifts it and continues it.
