Living the Lightness of Not Having a Lot

by Leander Angerer

‘Hama ned z’vui - Drong ma ned z’schwaar’ or the notion of ‘living the lightness of not having a lot’ is the perspective of two distant worlds boiled down in a set of tools to venture into the pathless. Familiar settings, but estranged by de-normalized objects - the ‘space-tools’ intend to offer the participant of the urban reality experiences that at least foster thought and at most create self-awareness, consciousness and have an impact on human behavior  As ‘thinking-spaces’ they aspire to introduce different values and meaning to life in the urban society.

Leader studied at Central Saint Martins MA Industrial Design, the same course that I did a year ago. I did not have the chance to go to the private view this year and I missed the chance to see this great project, which relates some how with what I did for my master's thesis. It talks aboutus as individuals and our need to look for isolation from our "noisy" environment where we as modern nomad lives in.
