The key idea: «Stihia is you»
«Stihia» festival is a living organism, of which everyone becomes a part. Wind, sand, sun, music, art — there are no boundaries between the creator, the viewer and nature.
Conceptual directions for installations:
– Dissolution in the elements, reinterpretation of the desert.
The object should be felt as a part of the environment, connected with natural elements (wind, sand, light, movement).
The sea was once here, and today it continues to exist through us. It is important to emphasize the transition of states, the interaction of water, air and earth through the form, texture, matter of the installation.
– The energy of interaction. The human being as the center.
An installation can reflect the presence of a person through mirrors, reflections, movement, light, sound, or tactile sensation.
The viewer does not just look, but becomes part of the object — walks through, leaves a trace, sees the change in structure from their presence. Interactivity is important.
– «Mirage in the Dunes»
All installations will be located on a sandy landscape near a ship cemetery. Therefore, the works must be adapted to the environment, resistant to wind and climatic conditions; be vandal resistant.
