Statement

The aim of our project is to explore the possibilities of the spatial context and transform it into a safe-participatory act. We want to develop an immersive moment in an exposed room, through playful design and inception of sensitive/sensorial experiences. The focus of our project is on identity, belonging, subjectivity – offering the possibility of unfolding, gaining a pocket of personal reality: a temporary setup.

We bring dynamism in an unmoving room by letting the participants develop an individual womb-space for themselves. They become the language between the statuary room and the artpiece. The social element is brought by also observing that one still-space can be perceived in many different ways, depending on how and who interacts with it. We work with large/medium-size interactive installations/structures, made mostly of wood and textile. A demonstration of a similar purpose can be seen in our previous work – placed in the urban structure.

GlogauAIR Project

Our body of work focuses on spatial art and architecture. We dare to shape existing realities into playful, interactive contextual installations or objects. Our aim is to discover new ways of understanding, perceiving and consuming the spaces around us through sustainable materials.
