The exhibition takes place on two floors of the historic Venetian palazzo: the Casa Museo Querini Stampalia and the Area Scarpa. The basic idea of the operation was that “the work to germinate in the space it was created for . . . giving the public the conditions to experience it through the process of its creation in the various channels of the meaning . . . . This is how the project-exhibition demonstrates that it is a unique and original text, with the place and the work doing nothing more than writing a single text together.” In the area restored by Carlo Scarpa the focal point was L’osservatore non l’oggetto osservato, 1985 (2003), the work that lends its title to the exhibition, inviting visitors to establish a relationship with what they see, focusing above all on an inner path. Composed of twenty-seven copper tripods of different heights, made two years earlier during the experience of the Cantiere, the work was displayed in the Sala Luzzatto inside which Scarpa had identified, with a brass strip that interrupts the travertine covering the walls, the height at which to place the works: the viewpoint of the architect is thus put into dialogue with the viewpoints of the young participants in the Cantiere represented by the tripods.
