FLOREPLAY: THE BORDERLAND 2016

 

A majestic, fractal flower stretching 10m in diameter, Floreplay is a space that invites you to become a part of the flora symmetry. Placed in a giant pyramid at Boesdal Kalkbrud, this light installation was the center of the opening ceremony at The Borderland, a regional Burning Man festival in Denmark. During the night, a programmed light show brings petals to life. The substructure is constructed with metal piping and custom cut plastic Strawbee connectors with a custom-sewn geotextile covering allowing for snuggling, cuddling, exploring, and playing.
