‘For contemporary artists and architects the lesson of the Laurentian Library is perhaps that mannerism is a dish best eaten cold and in small doses’ says architect Rem Koolhaas who invited Charlie Koolhaas to convey its ‘brutal beauty’. She recorded as a photographer and interpreted as a sociologist two kinds of sacrilege – Michelangelo’s architecture, and the tourists visiting his work. Charlie Koolhaas presented her installation of photographs for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2014, in the Mondo Italia exhibition in the Arsenale.
