NOTHING ABOUT INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
Often dissident, sometimes adherent, Nothing About is, in essence, indefinable because it is adaptive and fluid. Speculative or hands-on, this discipline – if we can call it that – displays all the ambivalences of our contemporary lifestyles: superficial and profound, profane and divine, present everywhere and nowhere, and often regarded as futile, even though it could nonetheless destroy the most beautiful of insides. This book brings together a variety of intellectual tools and insights – polysemic and ambiguous, bespoke and improvised, ornamental and criminal, spanning media, technology, the arts and other, often undefined fields – that analyze the impact of the discipline on contemporary design. In the end, what makes Nothing About charming is that this inside – insofar as it is still defined as such – has only the humble ambition of accompanying beings, both animate and inanimate, within their environment, like a friend who is never far away.
Essays by Camille Bagnoud, Ahmed Belkhodja, Javier F. Contreras, Valentina De Luigi, Valentin Dubois, David Fagart, Line Fontana, Jan D. Geipel, Jean-Pierre Greff, Simon Husslein, Youri Kravtchenko, Paule Perron, Philippe Rahm, Vera Sacchetti, Leonid Slonimskiy, Bertrand Van Dorp, Roberto Zancan, Daniel Zamarbide.
