For the new project designed especially for Villa Tugendhat, Zuza Golińska (PL) assembles a minimal floor constellation. The shine of stainless steel objects lying on the floor shifts our focus; from looking for sculptures on pedestals we have to look under our feet so that we do not step on them. Each circular shape is individual yet remains in an inseparable relation to other rings. The esthetic of Piercers is referring to body jewelry, the rod ring is cutting through different steel shapes – balls, disks and cylinders. Deliberate choice of stainless steel, a material both hefty and durable, indicates on one hand a connection between the objects and public space and on the other resembles the elements of Villa’s functionalist design. Metal elements are a characteristic part of the Villa’s furniture – it’s chairs, tables and grab bars. Form of Piercers connects to the slick and oppressive aesthetic while losing the pervasive function. Steel constellations could as well be an element of the Villa’s original interiors. Maybe the only element with a role yet to be discovered.
