Yesterday’s Throughcut made absence active by slicing a route through a building. Today I reversed the operation: instead of opening the void, I gave the missing interior weight.
I studied Rachel Whiteread’s House (1993), a concrete cast of the inside of a demolished terraced house. Her casts turn familiar architectural space into an inaccessible object, preserving the pressure of rooms, windows, doors, and human contact without illustrating the lives that occupied them.
The dashed house is only a survey trace. The solid cast breaks its perspective, window and door voids push outward, wallpaper marks remain on an unreachable skin, and the stair becomes a dark pressure inside the mass. The small figure stands outside the former building but beside its captured inside. Interiorweight asks: what happens when absence is not opened, but made load-bearing?
