Description:
Initially, we the group arrived at the idea of the North and South of Britain, each having their own ambience. After thinking about the differences, we reached the concept of producing two rooms, no longer purely depicting the North and South but the contrasting paces of life and the juxtaposed environments in which they exist - one room reckless and claustrophobic, the other relaxed and open.


They appeared to us as two (Bio) miniaturised worlds (spheres) with separate identities, and atmospheres hence 'BIOSPHERE'.


BIOSPHERE is not an illustrated version of the two opposing worlds, more an abstract representation of our feelings and experiences.


The installation is designed to provoke emotions of a similar nature to our own, through sight, sound and touch.


Collaboration Programme project.
