Earth Can Be Sky

Workshop @ Retek Festival, Satu Mare, Romania, 2019

“The Design in its final shape wasn’t made as a final message - rather the Constructing became the Designing.”

The aim of this Art project was to create an transformable installation, following an open outcome construction and design workshop at the Retek Festival of Arts.

"Nothing seems like as we see them at the first sight. Everything depends on the perspective how we look at it, present it, design it, construct it. Earth appears to be the opposite of Sky in its infinity. We are going to build an installation base, which later will be transformed into its future shape. The installation will be a 2D surface on the earth level, which will shift into a three dimensional sky installation through applying structural forces." (excerpt of the workshop description) 

Earth can be Sky
 
Before imagining the final design, we thought about how the process would influence on our decision making, for each following construction step inspired by the other. Therefore, we set two compact principles, reflecting the 2nd and 3rd dimensional impact, corresponding to its spatial location. As an interpretation of the place we defined a frame, a smaller proportional model of the opened (skeleton) hangar section. Following, the process of the group was a constant dynamic movement, as challenging technical engineering and our evolving understanding of the ground level into a future sky level. It let us still enough freedom to adapt to changes and to apply diverse evolving expressions to the installation process. One sentence came up: “The Design in its final shape wasn’t made as a final message, rather the Constructing as a process became the Designing.”
