TAM TAM Installation - Temple, Action, Movement

The work measures 6 meters on each side and 5 meters high and stands in the 17th-century Cortile d'Onore on the main campus of the University of Milan. The installation consists of six white columns of different diameters, which offer visitors the possibility of being continuously moved and relocated. In this way, reversing the concept of the column as a symbol of stability and immutability, the structure is presented as an organism in constant evolution, which is shaped and reorganized as it comes into contact with human interactions. In turn, those who live and inhabit the structure are invited to participate personally in defining the architectural space.

The work is thus presented as a temple that is continuously reinvented, elevating itself as a metaphor for architecture understood as a dialogue between the individual and the environment. Even the color chosen, white, is consistent with the concept of architecture that can be reinterpreted and re-imagined according to the needs of those who pass through it. The TAM TAM installation is made of recycled plastic, in collaboration with COREPLA, the National Consortium that promotes the circular economy of plastic packaging, and is designed to be able to become a traveling project when the exhibition is over. Likewise, the materials from which it is made can be reused for new artifacts in the future.
