Eduardo Souto de Moura Jannis Kounellis

摘要

The image of the pavilion - or concept, as one says nowadays - is that of a wooden box used for the transportation of works of art. This is in effect what it is, seeing as it houses an installation by the artist Jannis Kounellis. Inside, the box has been lined to cover up the joints and create a continuous surface, which has been painted lemon yellow on the request of the artist. The entrance is indirect, blind, so that from outside one cannot see what is within and vice versa. The proportions of the construction accentuate its verticality, a physical and mental condition of the Western world.
