SPACE INVADER

Having worked on the idea of natural formed nests and the way people, movement and materials are combined to create new bodyscapes and landscapes we were interested in creating an artificial environment that also offered the sensation an organic nest offers. What’s the inside and which is the outside? From one moment to the next, the way you perceive reality is automatically altered. The real environment is left aside for some moments and time and space have no longer their usual significance. I’d like to experiment with parallel spaces, space within the space in which a new experience is offered.



MATERIAL PATH

The construction of a nest using branches, extracted from their natural environment and put in different shapes in an interior space had a particular interest. What seems evident in a natural structure becomes a totally new material when formed in an artificial way. The imperfections that might come up when branches are linked together are actually its main point of attraction. Within the same material you can discover different behaviors and the material itself leads you somehow in the ways to be used. Different materials, different ways to be combined, new forms to be created.
