Catastrophes and Simulations

Tactile Object & Pop-Up Installation

The first preparations for disasters we experience on the children playground: swings, slides, climbing frames or ropeways are not that much different than the tools used in case of fire, floats or earthquakes.  

 

I used the playground as a testing chamber to speculate about the preparations for contemporary disasters. I investigated into modern fears and how they can be overcome through playful formats. As a result, I created new types of rituals and toys for the upcoming disaster.
