GONNER HOUSE
Permante work as part of the Minetttrail in Rumelange, Luxembourg

In collaboration with Heisbourg & Strotz Architects

Permanent indoor and outdoor installation conceived for the Gonner House. An industrial site transformed into a guesthouse by Heisbourg & Strotz architects in collaboration with the artists Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil The Gonner House is part of the Minetttrail.
In their work the artists wished to revalue the industrial inheritance and to imagine the Gonner House like a place of cohabitation between the past and the present, between mankind and nature. The artist meant to pay a tribute to the nature by giving the place partly back to it. In this way the main facade has been provided with glazed ceramic birdhouses that implemented inside the façade, they will allow birds in housing difficulties to find shelter and nest.
Inside the building the artists conceived a bas-relief that stretches over the walls of the two floors and includes the doors leading to the rooms. The artwork represents a tree from the roots to the treetop, it stands as a central pillar keeping the house upright. And becomes a way of glorifying nature and the living in its various forms.
