IN 2
The IN 2 project presents a domestic architectural installation designed for two lovers of contemporary arts, theater, music and dance, as well as digital art, video and installation. By integrating an inventive experimentation in a Montreal cottage of the 50s, architect Jean Verville exalts fusion of art and everyday life in a proposal requiring a high degree of user participation. The architectural intervention blurs the reading of spaces with volumetric assemblages and visual breakthroughs, contrasts and tensions, scale games and trompe-l'oeil. The opposition between black and white produces optical effects oscillating between reality and abstraction, where bidimensionality borders on three-dimensionality until the boundaries between the two notions disappear. By addressing the pleasure conveyed by architecture, Verville offers a daily participatory experience to the occupants of this graphic environment. This architectural journey, animated by whimsical touches that unload the intervention of the coldness and seriousness often associated with contemporary architecture, calls for an experience completely altered by illusion, and this, for the delight of its owners.
