Multidisciplinary Artist
‘Greening’ Urban Spaces
Art as a slow, cultivating process acknowledges the time, effort and importance of a social, regenerative, and humble practice.
The concept of transforming a car park space into a living, growing car sculpture in the heart of Amsterdam represents a radical departure from conventional notions of transportation and urban utilisation. Rooted in the idea of reconnecting with nature and community, this project symbolises a shift away from the fast-paced, consumptive culture towards a slower, more intentional way of living. By cultivating a sculpture made of plants within the confines of a parking space, the artist not only challenges the dominance of car culture, but also creates a novel, shared space for reflection and interaction.
Documenting the process of this living artwork as a digital installation further emphasises the interconnectedness between urban spaces and nature, inviting viewers to witness the slow, deliberate growth of the sculpture as a counterpoint to the immediacy of modern life.
