The Womb Tent is a relax-station, to be set outside universities and offices. Contemporary public institutions, and corporate constructions at large, share the open-space feature with the newly built universities.
It is a refuge from constant stimuli and the need to perform while at work.
The digital rendering is the idea and its execution in the real world can take place on demand, enabling a collaboration between the artist (Idea) and local craftspeople (Application).
Time, Materials and Workforce are the focal points in my research for an ethical artistic practice, which sets the artist’s daydreams as a driving force for new collective landscapes of production.
A key moment for the station is the demand for its presence: to build it physically beforehand would require an impositive practice, while I would rather focus on triggering the imagination of the people involved in the process that leads to such public presence.
A digital receipt in the video informs you on the costs that just the digital version
encountered. At the bottom of it, I did an approximation of the costs needed for the physical execution in real life. A production that is 100% ethical is impossible to imagine under the current economic circumstances. But, to froze up one’s production does not provide anyone with anything. An ideal world needs to be translated in reality, dealing with all the paradoxes one might encounter.
