124 Ubrellas
The 2 hour performance took place a t the Eco P avilion, one of the 5 pavilions I designed fusing my design work at Ab R ogers Design and my own practice as perfomance maker.
Because of wind and sun the pavilion needed a constant gardener. In the morning, the structure would open like a blossoming flower, forming a vibrantly colored central canopy.
In the evening, it would be transformed into a forest of singular poles. Counting the 124 handcrafted, hand-painted, cotton Chiang Mai Umbrellas. The performance was a ritual
that between performaner and audience explored space through a directed movement, and engaging with elements specific to the ar chitecture and its programming.
The
project was in collaboration Wonderfruit Festival and Ab Rogers Design.
