The Graduation Project

Manuel Pellegrini

## “You cannot sit on it, it doesn’t solve anything and it will never win a design award. It does not work for exposure or recognition.”

You have come all this way to see a state-of-the art design and now it’s not even there. What a shame. But wait. Did something just move or was that your imagination? Walking around ‘The Graduation Project’ makes you wonder: what are you actually doing here, trying to find meaning in what seems to be an empty glass cube? Following the Philosophy of Absurdism, the accompanying voice-over gives a few hints that question design reasoning and its problem-solving approach. In this case, the lack of matter might inspire you to reconsider your view on what really matters.
