Tacua Fukushimae, Hand Knot, Wool and Bamboo Silk, 200 Kpi, 1, Lanzavecchia +Wai

About the Item

‘Mutazioni’ is a collection of two carpets displaying a top-down view of fictitious insects: One is Tacua Fukushimae. Measures: 85 x 3 m. This arthropod animal has been conceived from lanzavecchia + wai’s fascination with historical entomological illustrations and the presence of radiation which is floating in our cosmos. Its name has been independently derived from the nuclear disasters of fukushima the fear of nuclear energy matched by our growing dependence on it and in addition, allude to a new species of a beetle and cicada respectively. The hand knotted rug depicts background patterns which follow the precision of the ‘golden ratio’ as a means of emphasizing the asymmetrical imperfection of the mutated specimens at hand. Nature, being the system of perfect design evolution bestowed upon us, is distorted and irrevocably changed by humankind’s hand after millions of years, and the effects of this create unknown ripples in our future, showing us how fragile life is.’ this is what lanzavecchi + way hopes to convey with their designs.
