In an abandoned factory by the ocean near the mouth of the river Douro in Gaia I have also been intervening using already present material.
Creating objects that resemble ancient celtic structure out of breeze blocks from collapsed factory walls. Standing lonely on the empty and roofless shopfloor.
Using timber from the collapsed roof and rearranging it into symbols such as the dragon rune.
Essentially this is about the juxtaposition of preindustrial symbols into a postindustrial landscape. Celebrating the victory of nature over industry, of Zion over Babylon. In the short years since these factories were abandoned, nature has almot completely reconquered them. The land is returning to its original state. Proving that the cyclical is stronger than the linear.
Concrete is no match for even the smallest weed?
