Inside Outside

InsideOutside has joined the Vedute Collection of 3D Manuscripts.

A collection that was initiated in 1991, where artists, designers, architects, and other makers visualize their fascination with space in a physical work measuring 44 × 32 × 7 cm in its closed form.

Petra Blaisse and Peter Niessen have created a new manuscript for the collection.

“Before you lies, stands, or falls something that
Changes, Imagines, Conceals, Connects, Disguises, Divides, Doubles,
Embellishes, Enlarges , Explores, Reduces, Discolours, Cuts, Enriches, Exchanges,
Expands, Tells, Fades, Distorts, Softens, and Reconciles.

Thoughtfully pierced and Strategically reflective,
It creates Folds and openings, Rooms and corridors,
Views and light, Connects Inside with Outside,
Below with above, Front with back.

Standing or lying down, Expanded or folded,
and without rigid parts,
we offer Vedute: Elastic Space.”
