Ephemeral Symbiosis , 2024
-
Ephemeral Symbiosis explores the delineation of the private and public, the conditions between indoor/outdoor, the human intervention and curation of nature. By juxtaposing cultural and natural elements, the Vinegar Factory becomes an evolving environment. The visitors are invited to an immersive installation based on geological findings and constructed narratives where one can discover a path of new perspectives on their surroundings, wonder, listen, walk, contemplate and coexist. A common ground where ground is common.
