The Message of the Project
The Fugazi Fugazi project by renowned artist Dion Soethoudt explores art, mortality, and legacy. By designing his own mausoleum, Soethoudt aims to transform a simple resting place into a profound artistic statement, considering it the ultimate expression of his life’s work. This mausoleum will serve as both a memorial and a lasting symbol of his creative journey.
The Idea Behind the Project
Combining classical and contemporary styles, Soethoudt envisions a mausoleum that balances with nature yet challenges traditional design. Using eco-friendly materials and advanced technologies, he expresses themes of life, death, and rebirth. This project not only questions conventional ideas of memorials but also allows Soethoudt to leave a lasting family legacy. It embodies his concept of “sustainability in sentiment,” where design becomes an integral part of a household’s identity, resisting planned obsolescence to be cherished across generations.
What’s Next
With construction underway, the art world keenly awaits the unveiling of this unique blend of art and architecture. If Soethoudt succeeds, Fugazi Fugazi will stand as a timeless piece, reflecting the enduring nature of art, family, and memory.
