Works of India is an archive of drawings, sketches, artefacts, models, tools and pictures collected and made during two and a half years of life and work. The collection arises as necessity to document the relation between human, natural and built landscape to portray a frame for a way of life in India.
The selected material articulates in six environments which reflects upon the relation between man and nature, god and matter, a certain sacrality which is embedded during the act of creation and a sort of deep rooted understanding in the way of making and building.
The exhibition engages the old rooms inhabited by Franciscan monks inserting a new rythm of life to rejoice the nature of the waterfront promenade that leads across an imaginary axe. On one side a mandir, a hindu temple, to worship the God Vishwakarma who is the supreme maker who generated the universe and the personification of the invisible creative power, and on the other side an archetype of a house, shaped by man, symbol of his relation with nature and what has been created.
