“This place is like a treasure hunt in the Role-Playing Game." The second exhibition at ALCOVA 2023 was held in a former slaughterhouse in Milan. This presentation, titled "Diag/", took place in a place that could only be reached by those whose curiosity brought them to the deepest level. In confronting the limited conditions, we chose to face the design of lighting fixtures. Rather than designing the objects themselves, we expressed their role in space, the relationship between objects and their existence, and the relationship between objects and people's behavior.
「RPGで宝探しをしているみたい」と評されたスペースにて行われた展示。2度目となるALCOVA2023での展示はミラノ市内の旧屠殺場にて開催され、「Diag/」と題された本プレゼンテーションはその一角にある、奥の奥にまで足を運んでもらえた人にのみ辿り着けるような場所で行われました。限定された条件と向き合う中で照明器具のデザインに改めて向き合うことを選択し、対象物そのもののデザインというよりも空間の中における役割や、物同士の存在の関係性、対象物と人の振る舞いとの関係性を表現したものになります。
