Memorial to wounded Nature

Bachelor degree project: concept of a temporary installation - Exhibited at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design - Stockholm (SWE) - 06/21

How can temporary installations in public space become experimental platforms for reflection, discussion, and collective action?

Memorial to Wounded Nature proposes an intervention that transforms a paradigmatic urban landscape into a site of engagement and reflection. The concept is rooted in a location in southwest Stockholm, where construction has been halted since 2017 due to soil contamination. Rather than viewing the area as a void or failure, it is approached as an active witness to environmental degradation and a catalyst for dialogue. By documenting and reusing existing materials and objects, the project generates new spatial relationships that invite interaction through play, activism, and contemplation. It seeks to challenge political hierarchies and traditional notions of ownership, transforming the public sphere from a passive backdrop into an active forum.
