CABINET OF UNNATURAL HISTORY FLORA ars+natura, Bogotá 2014 Cabinet of Unnatural History is an interface between past and future, a reflection upon the transience of human existence and the attempt to leave a permanent trace. In a world where human relationships, history and culture are defined by social network and mediated by technology, how will technological media affect people’s recollection of the past and the perception of the future?  Read about the project on Fuga+Löfström's website and in Colombian magazine Semana. www.arteflora.org

Dis Play, Bodegón De Dibujo

Fuga+Löfström's project ‘Dis Play’, a site-specific installation for Lugar a Dudas, 2014.  Interested in the participatory aspects of drawing and representation and reflecting on the fundamental need of mark making, Fuga+Löfström turned the gallery space at Lugar a Dudas into a drawing class session. 

Using a Cattleya trianae as the object/subject matter for the workshop, Fuga+Löfström led a week long drawing class where the public was invited and taught how to draw the orchid in different ways; using different techniques, exploring possible ways of representing it.

Work in progress, developed during our one month stay at Residencia en la Tierra in Quindio, Colombia. More updates coming soon! www.residenciaenlatierra.org

[fuga-lofstrom]

During our stay at Residencia en la Tierra we organized a 'Super Hero from the Future' workshop with the Embrera community in Quindio, Colombia. We asked the children to envision the future, what they would like to change, and think of a 'super power' they would like to possess to make these changes happen. We then created Super Hero masks based on these super powers with the children.

Colliding Lives- Animation workshop

Award winning filmdirector and animator Magali Charrier joined Ministry of Love to explore the relationship between filmed movement and mark-making. The workshop explored the theme of touch - a dimension missing from our online interactions. The group worked on a series of short extracts of film showing various people coming in physical contact with one another. They were asked to reflect upon: Where do our need to touch and be touched come from? What physical and emotional responses does it trigger in us? and create graphical responses to those themes. Once brought all together, the quick repetition/accumulation of movements of tenderness creates a hypnotic demonstration of love constantly aborted and interfered with. 

During this one day workshop participating guests got an opportunity to experience the fantastic working process of Magali Charrier, and collaborated on a short film using this very process. Here’s the result from the workshop.
