‘BOXES BREATHING’ IN CANARIAS ISLANDS (OR EVERYWHERE)

‘BOXES BREATHING’ IN CANARIAS ISLANDS (OR EVERYWHERE)

Boxes Breathing is the proposal for the Second Biennial of Landscape of Canarias Islands.

Spain, 2008.

The awarded proposal aims to show a compendium of the Canary Islands concentrated in one place, depicting not just the aspect that appears on the earth’s surface,

but what makes it live: the subsoil.

The examples are catalogued and organized in boxes that show their stratification, showing their sub-soil sections. Each example has a unique composition of strata, with their chemical and physical characteristics.

The information of each place of origin is printed in the interior of the packaging-transport boxes, which open as if it was a box of surprises, forming the preamble of the planting samples. Thus, an interactive garden is formed, like an itinerant cartography of the Islands to be shown in a specific place.

As easy as requesting an exhibition …and there the landscape will be sent.
