During
3 months, we are invited with the hungarian artist Kaszas Tamas,
to the "projecto 270", 30 km south to Lisbon.
|
Projecto 270 is an organic
farm where are working a lot of volunteers (woofer). They organise
also some activists meetings and artistics residencies. |
We are
building, in the middle of the organic garden, an underground
room to observ the nature. While you are standing in the
room, protected by a green roof, your eyes are at the level of the
ground. |

This hand made artwork, build with mostly recycled
materials (found on the farm), and with the use of few machines,
contains a lot of elements to speak about ecology and organic
agriculture:
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
green roof (before the
seeds were growing), moltch on the floor of the room, |
glasses to see how the farmers were enriching the
ground, |
system to evacuate the rain water (view
during its construction), |
house for wild animal,
nettles pot (cf: the fertilizer made from this plant
was forbidden by the french governement), etc. |
This space,
by its location and how it was built, is coherent with the activist
and ecologic exhibitions that it is welcoming now. It's also used
to meditate, to meet, to play and for other events. You can visit
it during your stay in Portugal!
