Dafne is a sculpture comissioned by the gallery for exhibition under the umbrella of a groupshow dedicated to exhibit paralles between architecture and sculpture.The sculpture is a 1:1 scale model of the facade of the house I grew up in but no longer remember, as it was demolished when I was five years old. Through the collection of parametric data about the facade of this house, such as testimonies from the artist’s family, and asking questions like, “How many steps did you take from the window to the front door?”, an architectural plan of the demolished facade was created, thus obtaining an architectural drawing of a vague memory. This became the foundation for creating the model, and the following steps were then carried out:The material for the facade is calculated [70m² of drywall].The windows and doors are traced onto the material.The material is compressed to fit the size of one of the columns in the gallery.

The compressed material is hidden inside the gallery.
