At the Shore of the Winds
Here an island world emerges in which wind, sea, and particular physical conditions shape space. Natural forces and anomalies do not function as a mere backdrop, but determine how dwelling, movement, and life unfold. This body of work stands for a counter-world to compression and pressure and for the possibility of a less burdened way of living.
Nature
The nature of this island is shaped by particular conditions: strong winds and reduced gravity alter the way landscape, movement, and life are experienced. Wind and water continually reshape the space, while diminished gravity becomes a metaphor for a less burdened life. The island thus appears as an open, fragile natural environment in which relief and uncertainty are inseparably bound together.
Flying Houses
On this island, houses can leave the ground: reduced gravity allows them to float in space. Their near weightlessness becomes a metaphor for a less burdened life. Houses always stand as well for life, dwelling, and our centre.
Flight constructs
Some constructions make deliberate use of wind, currents, and reduced gravity for movement. Their forms seem fragile and precise at the same time — less like machines designed to dominate the world, more like instruments that move with the forces that carry them. They embody an understanding of technology that enables lightness.
Stilt Walkers
On long legs, the stilt walkers move across uneven terrain, wind edges, and streams of water without being drawn into the swirl of forces. They appear both vulnerable and self-possessed — means of locomotion exposed to the conditions of this island and yet moving through them with a peculiar calm. In them, body, technology, and landscape condense into a distinct, light form of presence.
