Symbiosen
For the Fragile Festival at the Pina Bausch Zentrum in Wuppertal, raumlabor and Raul Walch have created symbiotic structures and garments out of trash. Together with a group of participants, a pavilion was created out of old furniture and discarded wood. Inspired by the way the nature of Wuppertal encroaches on the built environment, the project aims to blur the boundaries between the living, the artificial and the discarded. With the help of the AWG trash company, we have been collecting old furniture, wood and textiles, to give them new life. Gradually, these materials have been transformed into new structures, as well as characters who inhabit this space – all while merging with both each other and the existing environment.
