Bonfire Stories
DESCRIPTION
The installation symbolically reconstructs the bonfire environment found in nature, where information and stories were traditionally shared orally, allowing for knowledge of the past and imagination of the future. The conveyed information is presented interactively, akin to precious testimonies, providing a personal and educational experience without being overly rhetorical. It aims to create an immersive and collective-based encounter that emotionally engages visitors for a flexible duration of time.
