Lolo Ostia · Sustainable Art + Biomaterials

Bosque

Bosque was created during an art residency with NYLAAT in Governors Island, NY.  An interpretation of a forest, emphasizing the use of alternative, eco-friendly materials and bioplastics to create a conversation about natural resource exploitation and the supply chain. As humans deforest forests around the world, “Bosque” is an exploration of the duality between inside and outside, peace and disharmony, the natural and the artificial. But the most important thing is that it seeks to generate a reflection on our current condition.

What if forest could regenerate at the same pace humans are deforesting?

The accompanying soundscape features a blend of natural sounds recorded in the island, such as mockingbirds, seagulls and ocean waves. Bosque is a fully immersive experience that evolved with the progression of the day

The fabrication of this project was made with in collaboration with nature. Wood + natural based polymers,  derived from living organisms , rather than from petroleum, the traditional source of polymers.
