The work of Shirin Sabahi, associated with the Swedish project entitled the “City of the Future” in Malmö, describes the (im)possibility of nowadays conceiving architecture and urbanism on the basis of a utopian perspective. In the midst of tensions generated between the seclusion of the private and the voyeurism of the public and the publicised, the notion of ownership appears here not just as a principle of exclusion (distance from the other) but also of auto-exclusion (distancing the self with regard to the other).
From the catalogue of At, By, For, Into, Around: The House, Ivo André Braz and Israel Guarda
