With a gaze focused on exploration—the participants of toichos project all distinguished French architects and designers collect fragments, colors, and shapes that seek their place within their compositions, like stones in dry-stone walls.

For them, the challenge of Toichos project lies in the relationship with the place and the creation of collaborative works. The search begins. The workshop takes shape. Design. Materials. Noise. -with pencil in hand, thoughts begin to take form, and the pieces gradually fall into place. Tools. Carvings. Trucks. Transport.

Now, the search for an exhibition “shell” has begun, a shell that, while scarring the land, simultaneously offers an embrace and a material poetry capable of hosting Xenolithia the toichos exhibition.

The projects develop. Demanding shape and placement. Motifs. Scraps. Measurements. Screens. Desks. Tables. Talks. Books. The work here is almost done. The exhibition shell must now be divided and inhabited the staging has begun.

In the middle of a hillside in the Vourni/Balos area, hugging the horizon of the Aegean Sea, the exhibition shell and its idyllic placement work as a chronicle of the contrast between the past and the present. It’s a combination of rectangular shapes & voluminous openings, scattered around its many floors. And though discontinued its  vivid and strong. It chronicles the stages of death and life, free but lifeless. A silent martyr of a frame of mind not yet defined.

The projects demand shape and placement. Bars. Screws. Marble. Metal. Stone. Build. Place. The exhibition shell must now be divided and inhabited as the staging has begun. It begins to thread its tale with Xenolithia the toichos exhibition next part of the discontinuity chronicles.
