Art and Nature

An interactive art installation where the landscape is built and transformed in real time. Sand becomes a material for creation: hands shape landforms, carve rivers, and raise mountains and lakes. The projection system responds to every change, revealing the elevation, the water and the movement of the terrain. 

Through play, children experience natural phenomena and come to understand the relief, the water and the shapes of the landscape. The mini-world is built, reshaped and created anew, blending free exploration with guided discovery. A proposal that brings together body, imagination and knowledge to explore the natural world in a living, sensory and meaningful way.

The installation can be enhanced with a large-format screen that projects these transformations in real time, turning the children's gestures into an immersive, shared experience.

Wonder is the wish for knowledge. Seeing things with new eyes lets us stay amazed by their existence.

A proposal of artistic and sensory exploration of the territory. Within the festival, we go out into the surroundings to observe, to stop and to collect small natural elements: leaves, stones, seeds, sticks or artificial materials that nature has transformed. What often goes unnoticed becomes material for creation and short-lived composition.

Along the way, words and short sentences are placed in the landscape and, in a discreet way, invite people to stop, to listen and to look at nature again with different eyes. The materials are sorted, ordered and transformed into short-lived installations and collective stories that talk with the territory. A practice that invites people to value what is around us and to build a sensitive relation with the environment. An experience that joins body, observation and imagination, and that encourages wonder, care and the bond with the territory.

An immersive artistic installation that invites you to step into a landscape of light, textures and images of nature. A habitable cube that you go through, cross and inhabit with the whole body. Inside and outside, large-format projections surround the children and place them within a living landscape, in constant transformation.

The installation was created together with the artist collective Duae, in residence at Fabra i Coats. The audiovisual material is the result of their artistic and visual research on the Besòs river (Barcelona), and it is part of the landscape that inhabits the space.

Play becomes a perceptive experience: to walk, to stop, to look, to touch, to listen. A space to explore nature from sensitivity and imagination, where the body becomes a tool of relation with the environment.

A travelling exhibition format, adaptable to museums and cultural spaces, that offers an open artistic experience, accessible to all audiences.
