La cabine de Chandigarh
The project 'Chandigarh, forty years after Le Corbusier' started up with the exchange of students and teachers from the Delft Technical University and Chandigarh, capital of Punjab, northern India. It was made possible by the WVC Ministry of Welfare Health and Culture, the Nuffic (Netherlands Organization of social studies, The Hague), sponsored by The province of Limburg (Maastricht), the publisher Architectura Et Natura, Amsterdam, and Philips Lighting/ Marketing Audio/Video and Philips Competence Center, Eindhoven. The project involved documentary photography (Martin van den Oever, Evert Bloesma), video and writing. I was asked to design and create video documentary installations for the exhibition.
The documentary installations were created for fitting into the project's traveling exhibition concept that was first shown at the TU Delft and later presented at the Opening Ceremony of the newly restaured Philips Competence Center, Eindhoven Holland (May
1992).
The Exhibition was invited later in France (Saline
Royale d'Arc et Senans, Fondation Nicolas Ledoux, Besancon, 1993),
Argentina (Buenos Aires 1994), Japan (Le Corbusier Center Tokyo, 1995)
and at the Rem Koolhaas freshly built Rotterdam's Kunsthal (1993) and
the AVE International Audiovisual festival Arnhem 1993.
