Using 800 bricks, two bodies create an environment that traps them little by little. Each new brick transforms the space and redefines the rules of the game. An immersive visual and auditory experience that transports the viewer into a dystopic world.
Cardellini – Gonzalez is a Swiss artistic duo exploring architecture in the broadest sense, from spatial institutional structures to the power dynamics shaping bodies, behaviors, and imagination. With a background in social sciences, humanities, and performing arts, they have collaborated with artists such as Jérôme Bel, Milo Rau, and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, developing a critical practice that intertwines stage, research, and context.
