    Description

A wall is a significant architectural gesture. There is an indication of an inside and an outside. An indication of power and a historical significance. It is the material consequence of an abstract line that was drawn. In urban contexts historical walls stand in space and time, serving as reminders of what once was and yet still partially is.“In Rome [...] people live more in streets than at home” (Pasolini). The Aurelian wall, perforated and surrounded by the streets of Rome, inhabited by humans and time, appears as dynamic and vital, meandering and static all at the same time.But what might be perceived as a seclusive body of mass and a symbol of the remains is in fact, when distinguishing between living on the street and in the street, a body who offers itself as home for those without one.The scenes of the walls exhibit the rejection and invitation, dwelling and deserting. The theater of the street would not be the same without its walls.
