insideoutsidein takes inspiration from the notion of “future anthropology” and from Gottfried Semper’s 19th-century text The Four Elements of Architecture, which describes the inherent role of textiles in the origins of architecture.
Central to the installation is a series of five handwoven textiles: tongue-shaped panels composed of pink waste plastic. Moving over, under and through minimal structures, the textiles give form to a space that is at once architectural and biological, exterior and interior.
