Vision of Sustainability, a group tapestry, studies man’s relationship to nature, mimics natural ways of working, suggests new ways of using materials, and wonders about their future. The future of materials lies in returning to our roots, in returning to nature and imitating natural ways of working. With the help of modern technology and a high level of awareness, we are able to change the flow of the current world and turn to a better future.
Different materials were used to create the tapestry. Lovro Ivančić used air lace, various re-used translucent materials and latex resin. Mateja Premrl used obsolete fishing nets pulled from the seabed in order to reuse them as raw materials for processing. In her work, Lucija Srebre found inspiration in the stalactites of the karst underground, which prove that patience and time are needed for progress. She used old ropes, socks and wool and interwoven them into hanging structures that hang freely from the net and create a sense of growth. Through the design process, Lan Krebs wanted to show how we increase the value of synthetic felt as a seemingly inexpensive material.
Together they recreate the building blocks, the textures of the earth. The underworld, the sea, the world of spores and roots, which communicate with each other, feed and create their own ecosystem. Separated from ours, but at the same time under the influence of human actions.
