Designed as a temporary insertion in the Villa Panza Gallery, this exhibition explores how the violent destruction of buildings alters the value of the objects within. The exhibition reassembles debris from various natural disasters & warzones within five-meter-high walls of scaffolding and steel-wire-mesh.

Within this volume, the exhibition is split into two: an inner void framed by a chaotic assemblage of wooden crates, and an upper floor: a sterile metal deck. A collection of items is displayed: artifacts of quotidian life recovered from the rubble of natural disasters and warzones. Among them is a rice-cooker, a wallet, a laptop.

A shifting narrative is formed. The physicality of the rubble transforms from a monolithic barrier, to a filter, a container, an embodiment of human life; a spatial exploration of the shifting value of rubble.
