PROJECT | The Symbolic restoration of the Elements (2003)

A multi-layered project associating art, land art and architecture. The final presentation format is the homonymous cd-rom.

The project is structured upon the Chinese scheme of the interaction of the 5 elements of nature (earth, metal, water, wood, fire).

Five indicative locations of environmental destruction -one element per continent- give rise to the setting up of a both material and virtual, global network.

The "symbolic restoration of the elements" develops in three levels (nature, communities, cities/metropolises). The proposal consists of architectural interventions functioning as telecentres (or community multimedia centers), as well as a permanent video art installation created to symbolically reinforce the missing element of each site.

These places disadvantageous in many ways, gain a significant account towards a new spiritual awakening.
