Viridem

Urban sound sculpture installation

From urbanity to nature, a metaphor of our need of introspection and a reflection on our relation to progress.

VIRIDEM is a monumental installation in an urban environment. The high walls are made out of recycle plastic packs, the narrow passage makes us feel small and guides us to the heart of the sculpture through a progressive revelation of plants and sound: a place for meditation and introspection.  The sound is an abstract electronic interpretation of nature mix voices and natural sounds, a memory of our childhood, a sense of pure nature. From the interpretation and idealization of the ruins taken by nature in the romantic art movement of the XIX century to the vital necessity to re-interact with nature.

The piece is a metaphor for our need to recreate a form of progress based on a responsible ecosystem,  VIRIDEM, a symbol for hope. An ephemeral installation the project will respond to the necessity of the location and the context. An installation that interacts with the community, constructed in partnership with local actors of the economy and with the support of local industries and institutions. Access will be free, it is a place to visit but also to come and just rest or meditate.

A piece at the center of the city with and for its population.
