The Rowing House, 2006
Action, Lake of Como; Video Installation, Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan
collaboration with Giorgio Andreotta Calò
The Rowing house is a video installation that documents a journey on the Lake Como inside a typical vessel with oars, used both as a means of travel and as a residence.
The artists have elaborated a project that looks into the concept of traveling starting with the territory in which they have started to act. From here came the idea of a mobile living unit on Lake Como. While from one side the vessel suggests a journey, from the other the enclosed space of the actual vessel implies a sedentary condition.
The rowing house enables a continuous movement, but at the same time represents being anchored to one place.
