Marc Giai-Miniet: ‘Existential Dreamhouses’
Marc Giai-Miniet quantizes space into nearly-recognizable rooms; separating objects into categories and presenting a multi-purpose, organic structure. The artistic process and the constructed scenes are one and the same. These buildings did not have a top-down design; rather they were grown from various competing seeds, each struggling or allying with one another. The result is a frozen time slice, a clinical snapshot of simultaneous decay and nearly cancerous overgrowth. Compartmentalization has long since broken down, and each room retains only a shadow of its original purpose. This same original purpose, along with the physical contents of each cubicle, have been bleeding into the surrounding spaces ever since the process began.
