Concrete Desert Creatures

Concrete Desert Creatures is an ongoing, immersive, travelling light installation. Over 30 sculptures, inspired by Dada and Surrealism, are accompanied by a sight specific story that allows one to discover the metaphoric layer beyond the real. Four chapters have been written so far. Each story is referring to greater contemporary discourses and available via audio guide, interactive QR codes or letterpressed booklets:

2023, Concrete Deser Creatures, The Anticipation Rooms, St.Gallen
2021, Concrete Desert Creatures, The Visit, Dä Bsuech Zürichsee Linth Region, elderly care homes
2020, Concrete Desert Creatures in Times of Pandemic, St.Gallen, vacant retail spaces

All figures have been developed through sketches, technical drawings and wire models. Structures out of construction rods had been welded and covered by hand-stitched Swiss fire-retardant textile. They are fitted with bespoke made neons mimicking candle warm light.
