In a city without a Contemporary Art Museum, this project questioned the very need and form of such an institution. Conceived as both a space and a proposition, the temporary shop became an experiment in absence and transformation.
The interior was composed of modular polystyrene plinths, identical in height and depth yet varied in length — allowing endless reconfigurations. Their simplicity and whiteness reduced the space to its essentials, letting the designed objects become the only moments of color and weight.
As the week progressed and the products were sold, the plinths were gradually removed. The space, once animated by presence, slowly returned to emptiness — a quiet reflection on consumption, temporality, and the museum as a living, disappearing organism.
