The work consists of two bronze models that reproduce the cabins of the terrorist Unabomber and the one built by the architect Le Corbusier, near the sea, as a little haven for himself. Between these two models there would be the third cabin mentioned on the work´s title, the one were the writer Henry Thoreau lived in while writing Walden, which only appears here through its absence. In this way, the artist speaks to us about a utopia that, in the same way as an amputated –phantom– limb, becomes the origin of stimuli interpreted in many ways, depending on how each subject receives them.
