FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
a film by Space Caviar (Simone C. Niquille)
Fortress of Solitude is an essay film investigating the technology used to make our homes smarter. In three chapters it questions the military-domestic complex, a consequence of the constant strive for safety and comfort through home automation. It investigates the paradox of owner’s pride vs paranoia. The film is occasionally interspersed with fictional product proposals while following the everyday chat conversation of a single mom and her home. Visually the film follows a path of architectural domestic future-visions and accidental dwelling spaces, from Tokyo’s Nakagin Tower to Snowden’s Hong Kong hideout hotel ‘Mira’ to a military bunker turned luxury hotel in Switzerland. Fortress of Solitude has been commissioned for Biennale Interieur 2014.
White Hole is new project space opening in Genoa (Italy) to be presented by the founders Lorenza Baroncelli, Marco Ferrari, Joseph Grima, Antonio Ottomanelli, Elisa Pasqual from 31st January to January 2016.
The first exhibition Fortress of Solitude by Space Caviar (Simone C. Niquille) will be on show from 31st January to 28 February 2015.
White Hole is a project space devoted to the production and dissemination of critical investigations into the relationship between technology, authority, the landscape and everyday life. It operates as a platform through which an international network of contributors and researchers can investigate, document and debate the forces—visible and invisible—that shape the contemporary landscape.
Inspired by the astrophysical concept of the white hole, a theoretical object of spacetime which is inaccessible from the outside, the gallery itself cannot be entered although matter and light can escape from it. Its primary function is to project critical debate—increasingly confined to the online realm—into the public domain. The space does not have opening hours and can be visited at any time.
White Hole will exhibit 12 works over the course of its lifespan, displaying each piece for the duration of one month.
