Environmental, site responsive installation. Environmental, site-responsive installation. Woven wines collected locally in Guandu Park
Date
2016
Location
Based on a true story, Guandu International Nature Art Festival, Taipei, TW
The installation tells a microscopic story linking the history of Guandu Nature Park, its fauna and human life through science.
This collaborative and scientific-based project aims to raise environmental awareness by taking a closer look at the invisible particles that influence the lives of people and animals.
The installation of woven vines represents a close-up of the surface of the Avian influenza type A virus, which occurs naturally among wild aquatic birds. The art festival started as a response to its outbreak in 2005. The beautiful wetlands, which are home to many bird species, have always been a safe place.
In the installation, a cluster of woven sculptures arises from the ground for people to explore and discover. Observing these shapes from a close perspective will lead people to know more about the story behind the festival. The park's local plants are a plentiful source of natural materials for creation; two different vines (invasive species) are interwoven with a coiling basket weaving technique to generate the sculptures.
