These heterogeneous materials react differently when polished, such that the gravel gleams like a mirror whilst the concrete remains dull. This difference causes the floor to flicker with countless small reflections embedded in the opaque concrete surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The floor has been divided into sections using iron or aluminium filaments that prevent the smooth surface from cracking. The floor is detached from the walls of the rooms by a few centimeters, giving the impression of an autonomous volume. This serves a dual purpose of highlighting the new architectural intervention and giving the exhibited works the illusion of being placed upon a raised dais. The rooms are kept warm with underfloor heating.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palazzobutera.it\/en\/restoration-project\/\" class=\"btn-base secondary-button\" title=\"Discover the restoration project\" target=\"\">Discover the restoration project<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t<source\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"image\/webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u00a9_ERMASFILMS_Q37A5693-SALA1-800x530.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u00a9_ERMASFILMS_Q37A5693-SALA1-800x530.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"The floors\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"cover lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"cms-content\">\n\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var bg-white \">\n\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__container fluid-container flex padding flex-row-reverse flex-column-mt\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-text fade \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"im-text-img-var__over-head over-head cm-margin\">TOM PHILLIPS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"im-text-img-var__title h2\">Rima\u2019s wall (1991)<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__paragraphs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have given Rima\u2019s Wall central importance as it is one of Phillips\u2019 masterpieces. an exploration of the possibilities of drawing to continuously reshape its energy in contact with music, African art and literature.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palazzobutera.it\/autore\/tom-phillips-1937-2022\/\" class=\"btn-base secondary-button\" title=\"ABOUT THE ARTIST\" target=\"\">ABOUT THE ARTIST<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t<source\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"image\/webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u00a9_ERMSFILMS_Q37A5303-Sala1-800x533.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u00a9_ERMSFILMS_Q37A5303-Sala1-800x533.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Rima\u2019s wall (1991)\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"cover lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"cms-content\">\n\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var bg-white \">\n\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__container fluid-container flex padding flex-row flex-column-mt\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-text fade \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"im-text-img-var__title h2\"> <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__paragraphs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curriculum Vitae is made up of twenty panels created over seven years.
