Documenta fifteen

Exhibition design and pavilion architecture in cooperation with INLAND - Documenta 15, Kassel (GER) - 06/22

INLAND’s exhibition at Documenta 15 unfolds in the Ottoneum Natural History Museum - a heritage listed space dedicated to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human-nonhuman relations. INLAND presents a living archive merging materials, projects and collaborations that explore alternative models of coexistence.

The interior concept intents to draw spatial and associative connections between past and future, urban and rural, echoing the museum’s dual role as a repository of natural and cultural knowledge. In the museum garden, the Cheese Pavilion represents INLAND’s principles of ecological cycles, craftsmanship, and communal exchange. Conceived as both architectural prototype and social space, it hosts the Bio Kiosk Schmackes, where visitors can share food made with the collective’s own goat cheese.

INLAND is a Spanish arts collective and collaborative agency based in Madrid and the Basque region. Working at the intersection of art, agriculture, and activism, it approaches exhibition-making as a form of lived ecological collaboration.
