Adventures of Pillows and Mattresses
Adventures of Pillows and Mattresses is composed by a system of differently sized soft pads, a number of headphones and a floor standing microphone. More precisely the structure of the Adventures is formed by the following:
9 pillows (placed on the mattresses): 97 x 66 cm, 97 x 33 cm, 97 x 33 cm, 86 x 27 cm, 76 x 77 cm, 75 x 41 cm, 72 x 70 cm, 69 x 28 cm, 42 x 37 cm.
11 mattresses (placed on the foor): 190 x 127 cm, 190 x 127 cm, 190 x 102 cm, 190 x 66 cm, 178 x 126 cm, 172 x 77 cm, 172 x 77 cm, 163 x 70 cm, 140 x 83 cm, 122 x 120 cm, 100 x 77 cm.
The agglomeration of the objects is proposed as a sitting area for a discussion or a minimum lecture performance. The rigid installation of pillows and mattresses offers at the same time a resting space where more than 15 persons can relax, lay down or have a nap.
The Adventures of Pillows and Mattresses is sometimes proposed as enclosed by a surrounding curtain. In this version the setting -when closed to its exterior- is meant to propose the minimum space for an intimate discussion of a group of up to 30 persons. At the same time it offers a protected space for relaxation or short sleep for 10 persons. It can also be used as a listening room.
