Multisensory Wooden Walk-in Cave by Henrique Oliveira
Brazilian artist henrique oliveira‘s multisensory installation ’parada dos quasólitos’ at schirn kunsthalle frankfurt bridges the gap between space and sculpture.
it is a walk-in structure: physical, tactile, and immersive, a
disorienting place that temporarily transports the visitor to a realm
independent of the gallery walls.
The massive cave is built from tapume wood sticks recycled from the brazilian urban landscape. oliveira’s interest in the surfaces of the city and materials typical to geographic locations influenced the artwork’s construction and visualization.

fit into the architecture at the schirn kunsthalle, ‘parada dos quasólitos’ beckons entrants with its small, mysterious doorway. upon entering, visitors lose the connection to the main exhibition space, as they are immediately absorbed in a mesh of flexible material that wraps around the walls, ceiling, and floor. walking through the amoebic structure causes a multisensory allusion: the wooden panels to bend slightly, causing a creaking sound to echo throughout the room; an intense smell of wood permeates the enclosed space; and a vivid chiaroscuro separates the interior.
