farmScape

Installation for HKSZ Biennale

openUU

Hong Kong, China

2009

openUU was invited to create an installation at the 2009 Hong Kong Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture. farmScape was created to be an eventscape, an involved pavilion that requires the visitor’s help to re-imagine the traditional pavilion as a prosthetic landscape that simultaneously hijacks and implants within a local ecosystem. A device of both natural synthesis and platform for the community, it takes cues from the temporal nature of the biennale and the rapidly changing landscape of Hong Kong as a whole. Visitors will be allowed to ‘rent’ individual plots within the dia-grid field and encouraged to plant seeds of their choice from a catalog of local crops.
