Idem is an urban and communitary game that we projected for Matera's suburb called Spine Bianche.
Spine Bianche is an urban space created in the 50's to host the people that moved from the old city during Matera's stones requalification.
We think they lost a bit of their identity during the moving. Then we projected this game to make the residents' identity resurface.
Idem is a game that consists in different relational phases:
the condominium one
the family one
the individual one
the suburb one
and the collective one.
They need to work together to find their lost identity and use the balconies to show it. Each condominium will be represented by a series of objects exposed outside that will distinguish it from the other condominiums.
