Boxes breathing’ in Canary Islands (or everywhere)

Boxes Breathing is the proposal for the Second Biennial of Landscape of the Canary Islands. Spain, 2008.

3rd Prize in the II Biennial of Landscape of the Canary Islands

Canary Islands, Spain, 2008

The winning proposal aims to show a compendium of the Canary Islands concentrated in a single place, portraying not only the aspect that appears on the earth's surface, but also what makes it live: the subsoil.

The specimens are catalogued and organized in boxes showing their stratification, showing their subsoil sections. Each example has a unique composition of strata, with its own chemical and physical characteristics.

The information of each place of origin is printed on the inside of the packaging-transport boxes, which open as if they were a box of surprises, forming the preamble to the planting samples. This forms an interactive garden, like an itinerant cartography of the islands to be shown in a specific place.

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