“New Nature in Park at the Ilm” is aimed at making awareness of our nature within the context of the climate change. What is actually present in contemporary nature and not as much as perceivable?
While analysing, we realized that there is a data of “garbage” which is
currently not visible in nature, since the waste at the Park is regularly
collected by Klassik Stiftung. Garbage is now ignored and growing as a
more serious threat to world. All waste around the world are forming
a large pile of trash: “7th Continent” which is threathening ecosystem and consequently accelerating climate change.
With (de+re)composition, we aimed at intensifying the multisensory perception of natural phenomena: garbage. Our “new nature” represents a future image of nature where garbage is fundamental component of Earth.

We have walked around Park Ilm, collected and analysed garbage. We
have produced decomposing sound of these elements in order to create a spatial atmosphere accompanied by audio experience. To emphasize the cruciality of the topic, we include actual garbage that will be collected from the Park. In that sense, our installation only suggests a new way of representation of future.

The walls of the installation which consists of plastic bags, will be filled week by week. Visitors will experience a different situation each time they are in tunnel. In time, they will see less of the existing nature and more of the new nature. (de+re)composition adds a new layer of auditory information in order to create an interactive communication between nature and users. While entering the garbage tunnel, visitors become more involved in the display of garbage data. Users would be able to hear the composition of future nature; garbage sounds echoing throughout natural environment.
