In Analogous (from within), one experiences Aldo Rossi’s residential project for Giudecca passively through numerous installations of typological form, borne from within the MAXXI.
Beginning in the theatres, a negotiation occurs between the city and the archive. The clash between the contextual and the contextless produces uncanny architectural fragments, caught between specificity and generality in their appearance.

These pieces are configured throughout the museum reconstructing familiar urban spaces in their composition. The resulting tension that exists between the two envelopes stands as a critique of the institutional nature of the gallery. Conflict arises where the two entities meet as the exhibited Rossi content seeks to break through the white walls and reconnect with the wider city.
