The stairwell project
Emergency stairs command respect, perhaps fear. Its silence, solitude, the unexpected just around the corner. I think they are living in critical times, they are the escape to danger, fire, disaster.I try to avoid them.
When I heard about this project, I thought to visit a ladder as a transit no hurry, but as an area of contemplation, broke this pattern.
I figured it would be difficult and would definitely look suspicious to enter, without further ado, the stairs of a hotel. We planned a tactic that would allow us access without suspicion, a sort of commando operation which we suspended last minute because the ladder is easily accessible and open to the public.
The project of the stairs is no longer a project, is a finished work, a concept conceived. Six floors of the Sagamore hotel on South Beach present the proposals of six young artists from New World School of the Arts. The first floor shows a work inspired by water. The space is lighted, colorfull and lots of wall are unpainted due to the confusion of the artist. The second is quite dark and has a well cretaed enchanted forest, painted in great detail to the last corner by an artist who considers his work experimental. On the third floor a young artist addresses the issue of homelessness in Miami. These are a giant figures.
We pause. It's hot. The staircase has no ventilation system, much less an air conditioning system. Several works, like the one on the third floor , of great size and hard to appreciate up close. The lighting is not good, we must settle down, up and down the stairs, find the angle where the light does not shine. The fourth floor shows comics, a face Pony, the character in Hayao Miyazaki's film. And the top floor is quite Gothic. I skipped a floor! In the fifth dozens of human figures, run, dance out of a bottle of bubbles.
Once inside the ladder, I don't think about emergencies or that a mad will jump jump in the next step. The place appeals to me.I want to turn the lights off and discover and with a lighter , a flashlight, the mystery of each new step, each new floor. Magical, romantic, scary. I guess it is a meeting place in the next two lovers stumble floor huddled in a corner, a reader embedded in a book, one of the artists doing finishing touches to his work. I get lost in the woods, floating in a bubble.They say the Sagamore is the most artistic hotel in South Beach. In addition to the stairs, in the all-in-white lobby, is a fascinating collection of photographs by Elliot Erwitt, and from the entrance to the exit on the beach sculpture. And a delicious mojitos at the bar, some feel that preparing a mojito is an art, so we also have.
