2 March to 30 April, 2024

the digital realm

The digital work of art - a window into a day in the life of a mature banyan tree in Ranakpur, India, was captured by Anotherview continuously filming for 24 hours in very high resolution during a 2018 tour through Uttar Pradesh in the month of August, the middle of the monsoon season. The banyan tree, the national tree of India, is known for its wide canopies and aerial roots, and, because banyan trees typically live for two to three hundred years, they symbolise immortality.

The entrance to the contemplative space is marked with a sinuous screen, columns and stools, all made from waste eggshell that has been crushed, dyed with natural materials, and moulded into Nature Squared’s signature CArrele tiles. Each square metre of eggshell tiles uses about 3,000 eggshells.

Visitors to the gallery who join us during the VIP Preview days, will also be invited to enjoy matcha tea made by Moko’s Matcha Milano, completing the mindful personal experience.

the frame

The digital window’s architectural frame pays tribute to temple architecture in India with a handwoven Pastorale textile wall covering edged with strips of baked eggshell, bamboo reclaimed from construction waste, and columns made of Terramique, a Nature Squared moulded material designed by Elaine Yan Ling Ng and produced from sustainably sourced crushed eggshell. At the base of the frame, the set of steps is assembled from CArrelé eggshell tiles.

The two suspended, double-sided, semi-transparent feature panels of pina fibre, handwoven to create sumptuous drapes, frame a semi-enclosed backdrop, and are made of handwoven Illimitada textiles. This unusual material stands out for its innovative handmade weave and yarn weft insert, which adds extra strength to the three - dimensional surface. The two original textile works of art are a mixture of abaca, pina and Lurex with inlaid eggshell.

anotherview

Marco Tabasso, Tatiana Uzlova, and Robert Andriessen are the Anotherview Collective, assembling their different points of view and experiences in art and design to create their 24-hour digital nomadic windows, each telling its own individual story about the contemporary world. Founded in 2017, Anotherview’s unique works of art challenge viewers with both temporal and spatial displacements, changing the window from a fixed architectural feature into a metaphor for perception, a lens to see beyond this present place and time, and creating a contemporary nostalgia for today. As twenty-first-century archivists the team researches, records, and saves important and rare places filmed now in order to build an archive for future generations.
