Group of 7, For Wilde Welt Wald, forest installations in Unbesandten, Germany, 2018
Group of 7
Unbesandten 2018

This work evolved through a discussion about the uses and perceptions of the forest, the theme of 2018’s Wilde Welt Wald project from BBM. My instinct was to see it as a place of refuge, as a space between cultures. I imagined a temporary habitat with survivalist polytunnels where humans protect themselves like seedlings but also appear to be in an induced coma like the glass coffin in Snow White.
The patterns are invented as they would be by a new culture – providing creative agency and a sense of each self defined through motifs. The process of hand printing became a celebration of inefficiency and pure decorative and identifying intent. Cheap materials worked into value.
The soil and seeds, courtesy of the Longo Mai co-op, in the pods will give the installation a changing form as the season progresses.
