Picture of the construction of the installation
SEGMENT III, 'ATRIUM'

In this work we did an investigation on the relationship between the exhibition space and the atrium space of an office centre. Common to these two spaces are there overly stylized design, a desire to create and display an area for contemplation and the desire to control nature, enhance relaxation, and evoke an Arcadian paradise. These were the characteristics of the atrium that we explored in the fragmented world of Segment III. The manner in which the atrium was constructed invited people to walk inside the installation and even climb to the top of it to get an overview of the space. Because we had constructed this work on another location, we build it in several segments. Revealing the construction was a part of the process that was public throughout the three weeks of the exhibition.
