1979 Cubus Diebach

Immediately from this first project, 

we note a doubt over the cube..... 

a doubt over the UN.... 

a doubt over the anthropocentric humanism

 

What do we see....?

 

A reference to Kahn's sentence:

Purity lies in the incompletion.

 

An open cube.

An incomplete cube

A cube where one side is not there...

 

Only a niche remains in front of the Real of the world.

Quite the opposite of Palladio's cube 

in the Villa Capra la Rotonda  

which opposes the Real 

a staggering figure 

of the classical order of anthropocentrism.

 

 

Into the niche rushes a curved order.

The curve,

unlike the law,

has a derivative.

The curve derives a course...

It derives....

 

We see it moreover 

in accordance with the curved ground

that the incomplete cube cuts

or of which it takes a part in itself.

 

The curve, 

unlike the straight line,

never goes towards itself.

At every point 

it goes towards the other.

 

And the incomplete cube

has in itself this notion

of going towards the other.

 

The cube takes 

in itself.

the anti-cube or the non-ONE

in-finite

coming from the outside

in its depth.

 

By this already

it assumes the triple 

anti- humanist non-opposition:

Non-opposition finite/infinite

Non-opposition inside/outside

Non-opposition face/depth.
