In Rotterdam for The Fenix and other museums

Il vecchio faro di Rotterdam

His latest creation is called Fenix, a container of stories related to the phenomenon of migration interpreted by the creativity of Shilpa Gupta, Steve McQueen, Rineke Dijkstra and Kimsooja to name but a few of the artists present. Although it is ordinary people, through documents related to the stories of their families, who have contributed most to the content. There is also a Suitcase Labyrinth available for personal interaction with the museum. The city thus confirms itself as an ever-active cultural laboratory: from the recently expanded and restored Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen to the classical and contemporary cradle of art Kunsthal via the Nederlands Fotomuseum to Piet Blom's cubic and decomposed houses, one is always impressed by Rotterdam's ability to reconvert spaces. An example of this mental and design flexibility comes from the Markthal, the covered market whose arched hall is wallpapered with images of vegetables, while upstairs some Rotterdam citizens have chosen to live to enjoy the freshness of the food and the many initiatives below.
