LIQUID HETEROTOPY #2 – DES ESPACES AUTRES

The title of the photographic portfolio “DES ESPACES AUTRES” draws its paradigmatic references from the homonymous intervention by Michel Foucault entitled “Des espaces autres” held at the Conference of March 14, 1967 at the “Cercle d’études architecturales”. According to Foucault, we have gone from an era dominated by “time” (the nineteenth century) to an era dominated by “space” (the twentieth century). In Michel Foucault’s definition, “heterotopias” are those places that do not need geographical references. They are the places where there is an excess of realization and, at the same time, of immateriality. For Foucault, the “heterotopia” therefore has the power to juxtapose in a single real place, different spaces, different places, often incompatible.
