Realized in 2018, this project is a poetic continuation of their Infinite Village series, which investigates the boundaries between architecture, daily life, and metaphysical experience.
Artistic Vision & Technique
The work is centered on the distinction between "mathematical space"—the hollow, Euclidean structures we work and dwell in, and "experienced space," which is unstructured, vital, and infinite. The installation is based on a modular 3m x 3m x 3m framework, designed to be variable and expandable in all dimensions.
Rather than manifesting as a solid volume or object, the structure presents itself as a "spatial situation." Through the thoughtful integration of fabrics and humble materials, the artists create an "open structure" that suggests inhabitation and social activity. It functions as a topos, a place of departure, challenging the viewer to re-evaluate their physical and mental position within the environment.

Context & Significance
Drawing from the concept of the "bricoleur" (as defined by Claude Lévi-Strauss) and the "Hojo" (the archetype of Japanese meditative architecture), the project creates a space where the exterior becomes the interior. In the bustling context of Venice, it serves as a refuge of modesty and simplicity, prompting reflection on our personal standing within a consumerist society. By dissolving formal restrictions, Tilman and von Zezschwitz transform the architectural "skin" into a permeable medium for contemplation and dialogue.

Tilman 出生於德國慕尼黑，是一位抽象藝術家及策展人。他的作品涵蓋繪畫、建築環境，以及堆疊與分層的牆面與地面物件。他是義大利 Dolceacqua 的 Dolceacqua Arte Contemporanea (d.a.c.) 的創辦人及現任策展顧問，亦曾是比利時布魯塞爾當代非具象藝術中心 (CCNOA) 的創辦人及前任首席策展人。Tilman 目前居住並工作於紐約市及義大利 Dolceacqua。
教育
Tilman 於 1978 年畢業於慕尼黑應用科學與設計大學，並於 1981 至 1985 年間在慕尼黑視覺藝術學院師從 Günter Fruhtrunk 和 Hans Baschang。
技法
Tilman 創作多種美學物件，包括繪畫、素描、版畫、三維壁掛物、地面物件、地面與牆面結合物件及建築環境。他的繪畫融合多種媒材，包括油漆、漆料和蠟筆，並結合多種表面材質，如羊皮紙、MDF 和鋁材。他的三維壁掛物以 MDF 和鋁材製成，平貼於牆面，呈現主要的正面平面，同時創造超越該平面的新空間可能性。他在羊皮紙上的作品呈現類似的空間視覺安排，創造色彩與形態的構圖，與光線互動以重新組織視覺環境。他的技法探討觀看與感知的方式，促使觀者深入表面之下進行探索。
靈感
Tilman 受具象藝術與極簡主義傳統的啟發。他創作的物件運用形態與色彩來詮釋光與空間，激發觀者的好奇心。作為其視覺環境的積極參與者，他的天性好奇使他注意到公共空間中存在的形態、構圖、色彩及其他感官印象。這些具體的視覺元素在他心中轉化為新的非具象存在。隨後，他透過一種簡化的過程將這些發現的視覺元素轉譯為具體物件，剔除不必要的部分，讓其本質得以重新展現。
收藏
Tilman 的藝術作品被納入眾多私人及機構收藏，包括德意志銀行、輝瑞藥廠、Teachers Insurance、紐約公共圖書館以及瑞士納沙泰爾的現代藝術博物館。
展覽
Tilman 在歐洲、亞洲、澳洲及美國舉辦過多次個展與聯展。2006 年，他在挪威奧斯陸的 Kunstnernes Hus（藝術家之家）舉辦了其作品的重要中期回顧展。他的作品曾多次刊登於主要出版物，如 ARTnews 和 Artnet 雜誌。
