Spatial mapping, series of site-specific objects and 3D environment
FLOW residency, Vistula River
Moving through the non-industrialised island, paths are formed
through repeated movement, inscribing routes into the landscape as
a method of orientation. The body operates as a tool for navigating
and testing environmental conditions. Instability and unfamiliar terrain
produce tension that drives engagement with the site, leading to provi-
sional structures and sculptural prototypes made from found elements,
clay, and available wire, emerging through on-site improvisation.
Following these experiments, a 3D model of the island is produced,
translating embodied trajectories and spatial interactions into a specu-
lative digital reconstruction incorporating elements derived from the
prototypes.
