Projecto transformed the gallery into a synthetic tropical environment—a temporary
world shaped by plants, light, sound, and movement. A single wooden platform extended
from the front entrance to the rear exit, guiding visitors through fields of black
mulch and native vegetation where two performers were positioned.
Translucent 3D-printed dragonflies hung overhead, their bodies catching projected
visual poems and scattering the images through the space. As visitors crossed the
platform, a flautist improvised in response to the rhythm of their footsteps, while
a second musician processed those melodies through loops and AI-generated frequencies,
building an audio landscape that continuously shifted and accumulated.
The work turned the audience’s movement into part of the composition, creating an
immersive ecosystem in which the gallery was no longer a neutral container but a
changing, otherworldly habitat.
