No Way Out is part of the ‘New Architectures’ series. It focuses on the creation of an “ideal city”, or an imagined city, which at the same time proposes the configuration of a more introspective space – of meditation and distancing from reality – maintaining a “documentary” relationship with the urban space. he installation constitutes a model of a city where the buildings and their urban planning are presented in lightened Japanese rice paper and wire lamps. The city is not identifiable and keeps an ambiguous relationship between the notion of object and the traditional modeling of the city (Carlos Garaicoa)
