Neglected Ornaments
2016
'How do people implement their self-imposed aspiration to be contemporary – to act within their time – how do they reflect their own occupation, their position and the now? What are the manifestations and the materializations of our time? The Superprojekt is a provisional stage in Depot Basel on which the question ‘What is contemporary?’ is addressed and discussed by different means: Written, filmed, spoken and physical material as well as actions, explicit and subtle input reflect the personal (and subjective) positions of the contributors.'

'A jig is a custom-made tool used to control the location and motion of material. Its primary purpose is to provide repeatability, accuracy, and inter-changeability in the manufacturing of products. In this project, the resolute purpose of a jig as a one-off object is weighed against the endless number of product types it can produce. By inverting the traditional value of a tool, Santi encourages the viewer to reconsider the importance of objects and the tools of their production. 'Form Follows Form' challenges the traditional modes of production by positioning the jig as a 'finished' object, while simultaneously functioning as a guide for its own manufacture.'
