The Abricasque is a realm of multisensory experiments beckoning humans to reconnect with their surroundings. It extends an invitation to engage in contemplation and embark on a stationary journey through the senses. it offers a rare opportunity to delve into a collective interpretation and memory of a location, fostering imaginative experiences that are both poetic and aesthetically enriching.
These artistic installations serve as deliberate attempts to materialize spaces of cohabitation, protection, inspiration, and resting shelter for both human and non-human entities. Constructed from locally sourced materials intricately woven, knotted, and braided, they take on the form of vegetal bubbles.
Addressing a diverse audience, encompassing both humans and other living beings, certain structures aim to unravel the intricacies of perceptions, attractions, and repulsions experienced by animals, insects, plants, and various organisms surrounding us. Others are imbued with soundscapes, symphonies of locally collected sounds, voices, and noises to immerse us in the essence of a specific territory.
The majority of these installations are ephemeral, with a deliberate intention for them to be returned to the natural landscape. The vision is to allow non-human species to reclaim and inhabit them.
