URBAN FIELDSis an open network of artists and creatives from

different discipline based in Rome, Italy.

The main activity of the group is to explore the

physical and social controversial condition of the

contemporary metropolitan realm through

spontaneous, instant and temporary appropriations

of neglected public space. Urban Installations,

performances, workshops, various experiments ofcommunication and relational design are

documented on-line at:

URBAN FIELDS

aesthetic experiments for urban

appropriation

Simple, minimal, almost intimategestures. Over anonymous moments

of everyday life. Space changes.

Intention reveals what has been

hidden: the shape of the sun, the

thickness of the air, the relations

among things, the tale of the soul.

Paradoxical, surreal, spontaneous.

Fast transformations like mirroring a

sunlight over a building facade orswinging up and down suspended on a

tree. Nomadic landscapes made of

wind blows captured into transparent

capsules. Simple, minimal, almost

intimate gestures. Liberating gestures

soon disappearing and all those

moments will be lost in time like tears

in the rain...

Torus like shape as an house like myself workshop. Exploring a nomadic minimumspace of existence (or a space of minimum existence?) we demostrate a resourceless

1:1 prototype is much much better than a computer based rendering: it tooks 25people for 16 hours cutting and tapering about 1000 sqm of plastic sheets.

Self made inflatable based experiments for a light, instant and floa-ting urban scenario. Performing with the wind and some thin sheets of

plastic, metropolitan poetry emerges...
