In 1993, over twenty years ago now, Jean-Paul Philippe created a sculpture among theCrete senesi in Leonida, Asciano to convey the idea of a home as "site transitoire", place of passage. A window, a chair, a desk: that is how the French artist, born in 1944, defined his home in Siena.
In an effort to represent the three basic positions of human existence in space (people either sit, stand, or lie down), Philippe placed his stones and immediately realized "they defined in light and space the borders of a house, a residence with no walls and with an invisible threshold. Its roof was the sky."
