WARHOL'S FACTORY

DEVELOPED AS A CONTINUATION OF ISOLATION, THIS PROJECT TRANSLATES WARHOL’S FACTORY INTO AN ENFILADE OF SILVER—A SEQUENCE OF ROOMS THAT FEEL MORE LIKE MEMORY THAN ARCHITECTURE. WALLS ARE WRAPPED IN FOIL, FLOORS STREAKED WITH WORN METALLIC PAINT. VENTILATION DUCTS HANG LOW, WIRES CROSS THE CEILING LIKE DRAWN LINES—UTILITY BECOMES DECORATION, INFRASTRUCTURE BECOMES ATMOSPHERE.

THE SCENE CAPTURES A MOMENT MID-CREATION: PAPER, PAINT, AND TOOLS SPILL ACROSS THE FLOOR. SHELVES AND SINKS SIT LOW—WITHIN A CHILD’S REACH—WHILE MORE DANGEROUS MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT APPEAR ONLY FROM AN ADULT’S EYE.

ECHOING THE SPIRIT OF THE FACTORY, THIS PROJECT IS A STUDY IN CONTROL AND SPILLAGE, PROCESS AND PLAY—A SPACE SUSPENDED BETWEEN INTENTION AND ACCIDENT. HALF-STUDIO, HALF-STAGE, IT HOLDS THE MESS OF MAKING WITH THE STILLNESS OF A SET JUST BEFORE THE SCENE BEGINS.
