Dondolo
Dondolo
Participatory textile installation
Date
2016
Location
“Art Transformation”, Darmstadt, DE
The work is a collaborative textile environmental project involving the concepts of recycling, upcycling and rethinking textile waste materials. Thanks to a visual dialogue between art and craft, it presents a comfortable and playful site in the forest where people can meet and interact. It is possible to enjoy nature and ponder the future while reflecting upon shared creativity, sustainability and green economy.
Four seats are available: a black hammock made from bicycle inner tubes, a white hanging sofa made of old crochet, a colourful circle of fabric samples and a green swing of Norwegian wool. The natural site guided and informed the Dondolos' shape and provided the primary structure. The sculptures respond to the movement of the forest and the wind. Industrial and private waste becomes useful, fascinating and interactive, inviting viewers to rest and relax within the installation.
