Magic starflower tree

"Hiatus" 2007
Mircea Cantor Born in Romania, 1977; lives in Paris

Mircea Cantor brings metaphors to life: the trunk of a Transylvanian tree seems to have been mysteriously sculpted into a starflower. This ornamental pattern, which is usually used to decorate weaving tools, provokes a sense of uncertainty in the viewer when it is reinserted into its “natural” forest environment.

Sack Hedge

Mona Hatoum is showing a constantly changing installational sculpture at the gallery of Berlin’s DAAD artists program. Hatoum had 770 jute sacks stacked up to head level; the resulting pile is 10 meters long and resembles the sandbag barricades used in battle as shelter from enemy gunfire. But in this case the sacks are filled with seeds that continue sprouting throughout the duration of the exhibition. The artist thereby seems to take up a conceptual thread from her early works, which were located in the area of performance: temporary works in public space.

Living root bridges

In the depths of northeastern India, one of the wettest places on earth, bridges aren’t built – they’re grown.
The living bridges of Cherrapunji, India are made from the roots of the Ficus elastica tree. This tree produces a series of secondary roots from higher up its trunk and can comfortably perch atop huge boulders along the riverbanks, or even in the middle of the rivers themselves.

Traffic Island

Traffic Island by Barsky

Barsky is the collaboration between Klisterpete and Akay from Stockholm,Sweden

"The city is a nice place you always think about escaping... High in a rocky tree-covered area between two busy highways, a minature Swedish summer cottage painted traditional red with white trim suddenly appeared. Of course, it didn’t actually appear, klisterpete and akay carried it up there. They built the red picket fence to surround the tiny grassy area. They hung the clothes line across the yard. They brought the promise of the swedish countryside everyone wants to escape to, right into the middle of the city. They took an unused, unappreciated space and made it a charming and peaceful place of wonder despite the traffic below, the train passing on its tracks behind, buildings stretching out farther behind those...
What if more people made the places they ARE the places they WANT TO BE? It’s not so hard."

Cabin of plastic bottles

A Serbian maths professor has celebrated his retirement by moving into a house he built himself entirely out of plastic bottles. It took five years and 13,500 bottles for Tomislav Radovanovic, from the central town of Kragujevac, to build the 60sq metre house.

He told the national news agency Tanjug that he hopes to enter the Guinness Book of Records and has already sent them an application. Only the foundation of the property is concrete, and all other parts of the house are made of plastic bottles that he had been collecting for years.

Even the kitchen furniture and windows are made of plastic bottles.
