This monumental intervention reconfigures the everyday perception of the public
environment, turning industrial objects into totemic symbols that alter our understanding of space.
The street ceases to be a simple space of transit and becomes a ritual corridor, a
passageway between monolithic columns that challenge the spectator to confront them. Passers-by, now active participants, find themselves immersed in a dialogue with these imposing volumes, which symbolize an era marked by circulation and commerce.
Originally conceived as utilitarian structures for global transportation and trade, the containers are decontextualized and coated in gold.
Far from being a decorative gesture, this treatment converts their industrial purpose into an artistic resignification that oscillates between the functional and the symbolic.
