Plastique Fantastique – LIVEBOAT

Plastique Fantastique – LIVEBOAT

Plastique Fantastique is a platform for temporary architecture that samples the performative possibilities of urban environments. They are influenced by unique circumstances that make the city a laboratory for spaces and are specialised in creating pneumatic installations as alternative, adaptable, low energy spaces for temporary and ephemeral activities. The transparent, lightweight and mobile shell structures relate to the notion of activating, creating and sharing public space and involving citizens in creative processes. They are in many ways the simplest of structures – a skin that separates but also connects.

At TodaysArt they will present ‘LIVEBOAT’, which addresses the ongoing refugee tragedy in front of our borders and offers space for communication and discourses. Inside the boat, multilingual extracts from Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ as well as fragments of refugee experiences are intertwined in a sound carpet.
