Unfolding Pavilion
The Unfolding Pavilion is an exhibition and editorial project by Daniel Tudor Munteanu and Davide Tommaso Ferrando that pops up at major architecture events in previously inaccessible but architecturally significant spaces. On each occasion the Unfolding Pavilion features a different theme inspired by the space it occupies, by means of commissioned original works that react to it and to its wider cultural-historic background.
For its third edition, the Unfolding Pavilion organized an exhibition in multiple acts, titled Rituals of Solitude. Its first act opened in December 2020, with a digital exhibition dedicated to a building that – at least until recently – was believed to be an unbuilt project by John Hejduk: his House for the Inhabitant who Refused to Participate.
Because of Covid travel restrictions, few people were able to travel in May ‘21 to Venice to experience the exhibition. To right that wrong, the third act of our project was a very detailed digital recreation of the Venetian exhibition, released online later that year.
