Building a bit on the previous post regarding the disharmony between man and nature, I bring you the Growing Chair as part of The Nature Manifesto exhibition by Michel Bussien from the 2009 degree exhibition at The Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Hägersten, Sweden.
The text from the artist explains the project:
“Having evolved from nature, we have gradually differentiated ourselves from it. Modern society has come to build itself on the perception that nature and man are separated. This differentiation has come to inhibit us and our way of creating. We have now reached the point when the way forward is going back.
We have to accept that we and everything we create are part of nature. This mindset is essential for evolution as a whole. When applying this to our way of thinking we will liberate ourselves from stagnated conventions.
To move further we need to incorporate the living matter that surrounds us. Let us use the complexity of living nature and include it in our creations. These creations will then redefine the way we reconstruct nature. Only then will we truly move forward.
It is time for man and nature to reunite.”
