Embracing bold colours and sculptural forms, Johann Kööp’s and
Gina Grünwald’s styles come together in a vibrant and playful way.
Working
around upcycling and repurposing materials, there is a sense of excess
communicated through the vibrancy of it all. The set design also heavily relies
on discarded material and easily accessible resources.
Through this DIY and
spirited approach, the series explores life as a playground to endlessly
explore. In a materializing
world, it can appear that we can’t live without things. With the theatrical
ambience of the series we invite the decontextualized materials to have their
part of the show, knowing that there is a parallel universe where they went to
live a completely different reality. It results in a variety of colours and
patterns clashing together in a surreal way. Having both come to London from outside of the UK, it’s a
look back on our creative journey and our own identity development.
