emotional labyrinth by Pierandrei Associati
It's a temporary travelling installation exhibited during the Salone del Mobile 2009 in Milan for Tecno, a leader company in office furniture.
The project is intended a san allegory of the space in which man, nature and technology meet in harmony; inside a circumscribed space more than one thousand bamboo and metal tubes made of various sections and length hung from the ceiling and form a series of hollow spaces - a sort of caverns – where people can move and get lost. When visitors enter the place all bamboo swing and create a unique and unrepeatable sequence of sounds inside a fluctuating space where the floor only, made of natural grass, refers to a physical and ancestral contact with the earth.
Two main internal caves – the first one completely made of bamboo’s stalactites and the one adjacent made of metal – represent with abstraction and irony the infinite possibilities to create flexible spaces, opened for meeting and not “just efficient”: the spatial effect is reinforced by an interactive artificial light system that controls movements of visitors and increase all dynamic effect of lights and shadows in the space.
Inside the cave few markers hang from the ceiling in order to allow everyone to leave his own message on the cane: the human desire to leave a personal trace, that it is usually forbidden or hidden, here became possible. The result is a space made of a playful and physical interaction made of people, natural materials and artificial products: it is a Glockenspiel built in an urban scale that sounds when people is passing by and that reveals unexpected shapes, colours, sound and perfumes but nevertheless familiar.
