Drawings, models, and in-progress photos of our exhibition design for @museo_munaf ’s Villa Ghirlanda: a modular system of vertical and horizontal structures, composed of wooden grids, paper screens, and magnets. Each wood element is cut from a single sheet of 18mm plywood on a CNC, assembled through interlocking joints, and anchored by a variable counterweight system, independent of the Villa’s floors, walls, or ceilings. A regular grid of nearly 1,500 magnets is sunk into the wooden frames, ready to hold the screens. The paper screens—a disposable layer that changes with every new exhibition—work both as scenography and as a medium for graphics, and can be replaced with other materials when needed. The magnets, housed in custom 3D-printed casings, provide both structural support and a distinctive visual pattern across all surfaces. • Drawing by Christina Garbi (@framed.x.scape ). • “Scenari Alpini.

Oceanic Refractions exhibited in the Arsenale space of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, is a historic milestone for Indigenous Fijians. Oceanic Refractions provides a platform for Indigenous Pacific storytelling. It’s been a great pleasure to collaborate on the design of this installation with @studiofolder , @elisehunchuck and @olderstudio ,to showcase a special film by @oceanicrefractions . Here are some of my photos and drawings. The immersive installation has been designed to provide a spatial sanctuary for celebrating a film of water refractions and soundscapes, offering a moment to tune into the frequencies of Pacific Indigenous wisdoms of environmental relationality. A fabric column of water suspended from the palladium ceiling, partially encloses a circular space with a curved panoramic screen and seating. “Oceanic Refractions serves as a platform for the voices and wisdom of Pacific knowledge-holders: Lydia Jacob and Philip Tacom from the Duke of York Islands in Papa New Guinea, Unaisi Nabobo-Baba and Simone Sevudredre from Fiji, and Teweiariki Teaero from Kiribati. Their perspectives are rendered through sophisticated soundscapes by KMRU and AM, composed from field recordings and interviews by AM and Mere. These audio elements are complemented by visuals curated by Mere Nailatikau, Laisiasa Dave Lavaki, and Tumeli Tuqota, which create a comprehensive sensory environment.” La Biennale Achitettura 2025 Arsenale di Venezia May 10th - November 23rd.
