The inspiration of this project is philosopher Bruno Latour’s concept that objects, images and ideas are also alive an they have their own mind and they will not just sit still on someone’s watch.
The concept is interesting and the way the installation makes you feel gives you a push forward to go and sit and experiment that live objects. This is a really poetic way to see the art creation. Has a mixture of past and present this installation also is based by the ideas of Superstudio’s Quaderna line, environmental installations by Ettore Sottsass, Scott Burton and James Lee Byars’ utilization of man as a symbol object.someone’s watch.
