The City of Possible Worlds

Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia

The cityscape of Skopje is a product of modernization and various political, social, and cultural ideas of the 20th century, creating a fragmented reality. The challenge is to convert this complexity into a multitude of coexisting systems, through de-centered procedures and typological correlations, generating a new narrative of the city as a city of possible worlds. The project proposes tactics such as building-in, building-out, building-up, building-under, and a new city index to update and link urbanism, mobility, and ignored traffic participants.

Presented as a supermarket, its "products" feature the text from every national biennale exhibit from the last decade, boiled down to its essence through Al. It sticks a pin into the whole ball of hot air. Thank you for that.

Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.

Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
