Huang Yong Ping, "Hammam"

For his project undertaken in NMAC, Huang Yong Ping worked with the idea of the continuous interaction of factors which are opposing but at the same time complimentary. In this way he transformed a military barracks into a hamman, which results in the reutilisation of the space for another type of function and plays with our idea of the reality which surrounds us, allowing us to see the possibility of renovating settings, transforming them in new universes. Constructed at three metres below ground level we enter a new world, in a place which challenges and opposes the rationalistic, cold reality of a barracks. With the work Hammam the artist wished to highlight the oppressed memory of Andalusia, its historic past, its legacy.
