The portfolio of Zaha Hadid
Zaha made again and this time also did the same. Someone in his office in London must have pressed Control K on some computers, and after several minutes of waiting, sent to manufacture parts for the new flag that was stationed from October in Central Park in New York. What is this? Zaha designed a flag for the brand Chanel where different visual artists Intersect assume the difficult equation of architecture, art and fashion in the interior of this strange crustacean. This is a half-hour guided tour by a suspicious voice whispers to us from an mp3 indications, which we all visitors.
This device is provided by the host of Chanel in access and languages to choose from are as varied as the curves of the flag. A girl in front of me asked the Russian language, I will stay with the English because I had been warned that the Spanish translation was bad. The voice on the mp3, which I believe is the same voice of Zaha a story of terror, talks about the temptations, the mystery, feelings and desires, while telling us what to do and look inside this route, all controlled and calculated for the free flow of visitors who come one by one.
I must admit that the flag reminded me of the bad idea is to design something with no straight lines and which are bad things that are on display, say it in full, beautiful. But unfortunately in reality things do not come together with silicone glue and in the case of Zaha, quite. That would be all out. Inside, the artists were inspired by Chanel 2.55 portfolio to deploy a number of facilities that have a central theme as to hide something, Voyeurism and desires. Only at the end of this web of feelings that gives us the "fun house mirror" Zaha, we realized the meaning of the final sample: We all carry within us a portfolio and that somehow is the time to empty it, we find wishes to accomplish. An extraordinary metaphor about the importance of having a good portfolio to save Chanel desires.
According to the New York Times, Chanel is paying U.S. $ 400,000 .- per two weeks to rent space in Central Park, some 250 million pesos with U.S. dollars calculated volatile. Nothing inside or outside the hall left me some clue on how many weeks Zaha has in its portfolio. Must be in the crisis.
