AbstractHistoryArchive Description

"'A Calvinian Architecture' is the name of the site-specific performance project I undertook in Melbourne from the beginning of 1998 until the end of 2001. The focus of the project was a deconstruction of Italo Calvino's novel 'The Invisible Cities' (Einaudi Torino 1972) into seven separate strands. ... This current publication is also presented in the form of seven octaves, each being made up of eight chapters: in turn each chapter contains my English translation of a Calvino 'invisible city' as well as two of the stories I had written through the project. Section Two of each chapter usually describes a journey I have made and Section Three describes a house located somewhere in the world that I have either wanted to live in or buy." (Introduction)
