The matter of superposition

Abstract

This paper issues from the need to systematize a dialogue between authors that occurred during a presentation on the exhibition “A look at Rem Koolhaas”. Besides rescuing the idea that motivated the display of images, the authors seek to connect idea of superposition within the projects of the Dutch architect. Moreover, there is an attempt to explore the issue of superposition in other areas such as sculpture, painting, film, music, advertising and even the beginning of the twentieth century.
