Item Overview

Description

Wawi Navarroza (b.1979)
TERRARIUM no. II,
Part of the series TERRARIA. The work began as a collaboratory
initiative wherein Metro Manila urban and peri-urban dwellers were
invited by the artist Wawi Navarroza to forage for soil, plants and
ephemera from meaningful and monumental, as well as unexpected
and in-between, locations in the city. The collected samples from
the public were exhaustively catalogued, and back in the studio,
arranged in juxtaposition within glass terrariums by the artist, and
then photographed as still lifes for its premiere exhibition at Silverlens
Gallery in 2013.
Ultimately, the communal project builds a psychogeographical
map from a sample set of 99 corners of Metropolitan Manila (and
1 peripheral place). Within the fabricated terrariums, the city, its
memories and its pressing realities inhabit tiny ecosystems from
which larger conclusions, reflections and questions are drawn,
imagined and asked.
