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.
