daat

walking into a condense space, filled with different forces. looking at the differences between the feminine energy, and the masculine one. wondering how it is possible to build a new garden of eden. going back to a familiar biblical story in order to recompose innocence.

daat – collaboration between arkadi and japanese artists from different art forms. a five weeks ‘creative labo’, which took place at the steep slope studio in yokohama, japan. working on the theme ‘garden of eden’, the collaborators were dealing with finding the relevancy of a biblical story in the daily modern life.
