Tentoonstelling
Bufferzone
In
Bufferzone Alban Karsten and Kitty Maria propose various
objects for safe-being. Sculptures are made of CITES listed illegal
hardwoods – with their composite density some of the hardest type
of woods to demolish.
Because of their forbidden status the wood is only sold in very small very highly priced leftover batches. Making the already luxury good even more exuberant.
These
woods are harvested from natural forests, buffer zones however are
artificial vegetations, planted as buffer brims around industrial
sites, to sort of purify the air before it reaches civilians’
neighbourhood, or to be a buffer space in case of an explosion. A
recreational gift for residents in the surrounding area, as well as a
governmental handgrip.Because of their forbidden status the wood is only sold in very small very highly priced leftover batches. Making the already luxury good even more exuberant.
For this show, they’ve build an installation exploring the theme of the buffer zone, with its inherent merits like compliance, gentle exploitation and safekeeping.
