The participants of the workshop by the prominent Swiss artist Sophie Guyot will produce a shelter or simple dwelling. These brittle rudimentary buildings are usually imperfect and unstable structures built from ordinary materials and cast-off objects. They are normally made by hand, and as such they could become part of a specific life agenda aimed at approaching and coexisting with the nature. The question is posed whether such a dwelling could also become an alternative to city apartments. The ambition of this workshop (free of charge) is to conceive a lighting dwelling made of branches and lycra. In the daytime these objects give impression of a wild camping, while in the night they turn into lighting sculptures living a special life.

 

The installations created at the workshop will be exhibited in the evening in the Tivoli Park near the International Centre of Graphic Arts.
