PLASTIQUE FANTASTIQUE - MARCO CANEVACCI YENA YO...

In the wake of Frank Lloyd Wright's pioneering work  visionary architects including Frei Otto
and Buckminster Fuller established bubbles as a recognized artistic and architectonic form. The
Berlin-based art duo Plastique Fantastique (Marco Canevacci and Yena Young) go one step further
and harness them as a medium of temporary social interactions. The philosopher Vilém Flusser
conceived of space in the digital universe as a network of relational settings in which humans
can be in multiple places at one  as a bubble that extends into the future. Plastique
Fantastique transform our urban and rural environments into laboratories for such spaces in
which urgent social  political  and aesthetic questions are negotiated. Oversized translucent
bubbles  traffic islands ringed by diaphanous tubes  giant lifebelts  air-filled sausages that
the audience at a Peaches concert pass over their heads: Plastique Fantastique's installations
fuse art  performance  people  and architecture in a multisensory experience that blurs the
conventional boundaries of art and focuses our attention on the larger bubble in which human
existence is contained. Richly illustrated with exceptional photographs  this monograph is the
first to document a representative selection from the duo's projects of the past two decades.
