interbreeding field’s timber framework acts as a transition between the space of the giardini image © designboom

in the giardini, interbreeding field has built two large public space constructions out of timber and large plastic water containers.  there are a number of ‘jello bridges’ which are lit and placed around the garden.  a large tunnel-like, wooden framework runs down the long path of the open garden as well.  interbreeding field’s experimental structures try to create interaction between the spectator and the objects used.  photographs are displayed as part of the exhibition, portraying alternate ways in which the plastic water containers and wood can be applied.
