mathematician, designer, illustrator, installations by Alexander Konstantinov fun to calibrate space. In residence in the city of arts in 2008, he exhibited "The principle of complementarity" ephemeral architecture made of strips of red tape parasite and rebuilt for a few hours in the urban area of the marsh.
With "gates" Konstantinov continues to play with urban space. But the ephemeral architecture took root, leaves the tape to the metal. As principles of complementarity that is still awake look at the site daily, focusing on the transition. Doors open, the mission control loses substance, or rights of way, or counting. Only those who pass the threshold control, defines the inside and outside the territory appropriated.
imperial gates or peasants, these doors dream arches, have arisen in the city for a quick photo. Gateway solo on a deserted sidewalk, an aqueduct arc lost traveler on the banks of the Seine realize the dream of Paul Klee child.
