SpeedWall critically plays with the relationships between high-tech, typically associated, when about construction, with metallic finishes, and its caricature as low-tech using a simple domestic aluminum foil roll. Aluminum foil roll preserves food, but here it preserves the museum’s or art gallery’s white wall. This project came up as an installation for the Family Abad’s Beach House located in Cabo de Gata. The aluminium bands emphasize the land off speed of the inhabitant to the near sea and dissolve the wall texture and its gravity.
