Some reasons for talking about Peter Wilson

Alluding to Peter Wilson’s book Some Reasons for Travelling Italy (2016) and adopting its narrative device, this article also invites a journey of discovery into own architectural universe time. Listing idiosyncrasies work reasons delving multi-layered nature, the decodes conceptual, figurative, tectonic references from which Wilson derived his vocabulary. Scanning oeuvre requires traversing distant territories intimate thresholds, looking simultaneously backwards forwards, moving through spatial practices writing, drawing, building, together define productive complexity. Accordingly, defying chronological narrative, explores series built speculative projects, drawings installations, offering transversal reading accumulations tropes relations that underpin work. His categories ‘Appropriations’, ‘Juxtapositions’, ‘Narratives’, ‘Choreographies’, ‘Adjacencies’, ‘Artefacts’, ‘Objects’, ‘Fields’, ‘Material Assemblages’, ‘Atmospheres’ offer particular projective taxonomy. The presents them as collection plays, each with set rules micro-narrative; mask. Masks recur in both figurative procedural frameworks embodying concern finding role object performance everyday life. Uncovering these masks, argues even though has distinct evolutionary stages, they cannot be seen diachronic succession. They rather fold other process constant deviation their rules, rejection fashions, or revalorisation. Such internal folding mirrors consistently provocative experimental nature. It is one why retains allure, calling an exploration conceptual complexity well sensibility, awakening our imagination.
