suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.
jimenez LAI: The White Elephant is roughly 10’x10’x10’. It has three basic premises:
A building inside a building, somewhere between a super-furniture and a small house.
An object that tumbles to attain multiple orientations to blur the qualification plans and sections.
An object that is hard on the outside, soft on the inside.
What is a building that can tumble freely without gravity or fixed orientations, hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and obstructs the continuity of interior spaces like an elephant in a room? This installation is a freestanding micro building / macro furniture that questions projection, inside/outside, rigidity/fluidity and size/scale.
