tti each.

Titled Oikos, the Ancient Greek word for home, the stools are there to host, move, bring together, wear off and finally to metamorphose. They open themselves up with an always existing teeling of dispossession despite their modestly accommodating form.

Exploring

the endless ways the

future can be reimagined through the interaction of human and object, Oikos aims to remind us of the ancient perception of ownership as the responsibility to circulate, rather than the selfish claim of stable property. The work revolves around the notions of the guest' and the host' as well as their distribution across human / nature divide that capitalism constantly tries to gover with nature being the resource and human, the extracting supreme power. A direct intervention into the support and sustainability structures of the biennial, Oikos invites a discussion on alterative ways to give, receive and reciprocate against the background of economic precarity.
