“AN EGGPLANT IS A GREAT SCAVENGER HUNT OF TEXTS AND IMAGES: WE LEAVE CLUES AND YOU ASSEMBLE THE MYSTERY FOR YOURSELF. YOU’RE DOING IT ON YOUR OWN, ANYWAY. NO, WE’RE NEVER GOING TO JUST ‘COME OUT’ WITH IT. THE OLD ZEN MASTERS AND DICKINSON HAD A POINT: ‘TELL THE TRUTH BUT TELL IT SLANT’.”

“Silenzi’s sculpture moves along the dimension of the encounter, the expectation, the creation as vital ritual. …A hybrid gallery of characters: animals speaking humans’ body language and humans who show themselves under animal semblance. Where does the former start and the latter end?”

“Reconstructing a camp of 27,000 refugees which was 95% destroyed during the 2007 war involved a planning effort with the entire community, followed by a series of eight construction phases. Limited land and the exigency of recreating physical and social fabrics were primary considerations. Established in 1948, the camp followed the extended-family pattern and building typology of the refugees’ villages. In a layout where roads provided light and ventilation, the goal was to increase non-built areas from 11% to 35%. It was achieved by giving each building an independent structural system allowing for vertical expansion up to four floors on a reduced footprint.”
