YOUPrison
Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo
from 12.06.2008 to 16.10.2008
YOUPrison presents possible models of a prison cell. Twelve architects’ studios were invited to imagine such cells as revolutionary forms of living unit, each of them 3m by 4m but providing all that is necessary to survival.
The Fondazione’s exhibition space will be transformed so as to present the cells in 1:1 scale, making it possible for the public to try out different perspectives on the idea of imprisonment in the 21st Century.
