Retrospectives

A pair of supersized 3D glasses you can sit inside, adorned with patterns inspired by Catalan mosaic tiles.
Retrospectives was built for Nowhere 2022, together with Erik Schmitz. Erik constructed the glasses in his workshop near Tarrega and we drove them to the desert. They were about two metres wide and half a metre tall, CNC-milled, with the classic red-and-blue stereoscopic lenses. The patterns were inspired by Catalan mosaic tiles, the kind being lost to new building projects across Barcelona. I had been obsessed with The Tilehunter, a Catalan man who travels to document and archive these tiles, an obsession I brought with me to a residency at Konvent Zero where I worked with tufting, AI, and tiles. At Nowhere the glasses gave people a place to sit and look at the environment "in 3D". Nothing more, nothing less. Massive glasses.
