Our trees radiate in urban
settlements as interconnecting matrixes between
the social, economical and cultural powers. We
crack borders using trees
(as a symbol for society) and wind (as a
symbol for freedom). We want to point out the
strong contrast between the dehumanization in
big urban centers and the need of a enhanced
communication between different cultural
identities through nature, art and technology.
Our installations are ironic
mirrors of urban situations in which specific
environments are divided by their own
development processes. We create critical
perceptual moments for our audiences:
sometimes related with the
impossibility to cross from one identity-niche
to another, challenging the sense of freedom
(with focus on the different factors which
create these divisions),
|
|
and sometimes providing the
audience the possibility to travel with our
installations within a borderless manifestation
of nature.
Our work call upon the four
"anti-paradigms" of the actual
liberal-democratic capitalism, as the factors by
which this system may not be sustainable any
more: The ecological marketing era
(the ecology's crisis viewed as a market
resource); the end of the intellectual
property (the challenged digital
corporations); the end of nature (the
natural organisms transformed into objects...
the ecology without nature), and the
new-apartheid society
created by the massive immigration of people to
richer countries (the hyper-identity era, yet to
come).
