Overview

Ephemeral Architecture documents a series of temporary structures built and dismantled over the course of three months in an abandoned industrial complex. The project combines physical intervention with video documentation, creating a dialogue between permanence and impermanence.

Technical Details

• Medium: Site-specific intervention, single-channel video
• Materials: Found objects, construction debris, projected light
• Video Duration: 18 minutes, loop
• Exhibition Format: Video installation with sculptural elements

Project Description

Working within the ruins of a former textile factory, I constructed a series of fragile shelters using only materials found on-site. Each structure existed for a maximum of 48 hours before being documented and dismantled. The video component captures these temporary architectures under different lighting conditions—dawn, midday, dusk, and night—emphasizing their transient nature.

The work questions our relationship to built environments and the myth of permanence in architecture. By creating structures designed to disappear, I explore themes of memory, documentation, and the ethics of intervention in post-industrial landscapes.
