IMPOSSIBLE OBJECT 3 - FIRE
ἕρμαιον (hermaion) derives from ancient greek word for god Hermes’ gift.
The dual meaning of this word, namely the neglected pray that has been left to chance and the gift of the gods to the humans acts as a catalyst for the design process and represents the IMPOSSIBLE OBJECT. Air lives insides an allegorical theme park, a complex of unique structures located in a hollow stoned concavity near Stymfalia Lake in Corinth, Greece.
The park is divided in four main areas each one representing a physical element: fire, air, earth and water, that make up the fictitious universe, inspired by the greek myths associated with Hermes and the lake. Each area hosts different functions and provokes alternating feelings to the visitors, who must go through various emotional stages.
FIRE lives in this universe.
