WHERE THE RAIN STOPS

The Pantheon - 118 and 128 A.D. - was built under visionary Emperor Hadrian, passionate lover of Greek culture and philosophy. A masterpiece of architecture and engineering, this mysterious and magical building, was designed on multiples of the number 7,fueled by centuries legends and myths like the one according to which there wouldn’t rain through the hole.

Our research has focused on the austere geometric lines of the dome that create a timeless composition.

The projection of the inner dome appears on a screen and the hole of the Pantheon rips the panels of a room divider.

The project is a collaborative effort between Analogia Project and Fabscarte master decorators who created and then hand-drawn the paper with the ancient technique of dusting used in the Renaissance for the frescoes. A prospective game deforms the projection of one of the panels, and invites the viewer to look for a point of view from which the circle back to being that, entering into a dynamic relationship with this work.

The result is a drawing deep and valuable, delimited by a brass wire that separates the world of representation from the real one.
