Ovidio

Ovidio artwork sound design.

Ovidio Horizontal Artwork that created a marvellous navigable space inside a patio in "Cordoba" city, Spain. An artistic floral and architectural design intervention by KOKON, winner of the first prize of FLORA FESTIVAL 2022.

The Soundscape evolution is a representation of the metamorphosis, the theme of the festival edition, of the plant material source of the art installation and how the plant evolves historically from its old uses to the present day. How the traditional craftsman's work is being exploited and modified, removing the soul itself of the craftsmanship of the plant. Stipa tennacissima, a hard, flexible, malleable and multidimensional plant, has been used in textiles, clothing, architecture, furniture, shoes, and many other use cases, now surrendered to the near extinction of the craft due to the lack of the traditional workers.
