In PLANE-SITE's latest video from their Time-Space-Existence series, Daniel Libeskind describes his work in relation to Shakespeare's quote that "time is out of joint." Weaving in his philosophy regarding time, memory and architecture, Libeskind discusses his seminal works such as the Jewish Museum Berlin and the Ground Zero master plan. These ideas will be transferred to his new project named Facing Gaia, an architectural sculpture to be located in Giardini Marinaressa, which explores the connections between climate, time, space and existence. Made in collaboration with the GAA Foundation, the ECC and GRIP Metal, Facing Gaia is reminiscent of ancient forms, its center a sheet of convex mirror bound to its steel structure with pioneering GRIP Metal technology. The reflective surface of the mirror marks the tension, the "joint" between the finite and the infinite, the name taking its origins from the idea that Gaia (the living Earth) is at a moment of crisis.
