Documenta fifteen

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

INLAND’s contribution to Documenta 15 occupied the Ottoneum Natural History Museum, a heritage-listed institution dedicated to biodiversity, ecosystems, and human–nonhuman relations. The exhibition functioned as a living archive, bringing together materials, projects, and collaborations that explore alternative forms of coexistence.

The spatial concept connected past and future, urban and rural, reflecting the museum’s role as a repository of both natural and cultural knowledge. In the museum garden, the Cheese Pavilion embodied INLAND’s commitment to ecological cycles, craftsmanship, and collective exchange. Conceived as both architectural prototype and social space, it housed the Bio Kiosk Schmackes, where visitors gathered around food made from the collective’s own goat cheese.

INLAND is a Spanish arts collective and collaborative agency based in Madrid and the Basque Country, working at the intersection of art, agriculture, and activism.
