Margo Trushina will present a new project title Salon Vert. Within a specially designed construction, Trushina will create a mythical garden with plants and singing stones as its main characters telling us about the abundance and fragility of nature. Each of these hybrid objects will have its own “voice”, which will sound at a touch by the audience. The soundscape for the installation will be created together with the Playtronica Laboratory.
Margo Trushina:
“For me, the Ruinart Art Patronat award is a powerful stimulus to carry on my current research. I am very glad that thanks to this opportunity I can finally work with the Playtronica team. The Salon Vert was conceived as a “green” zone at Cosmoscow suited for relaxation and a brief disconnection from the surrounding fuss. In this project, interaction with the audience is a necessary element, and the implementation of this installation as part of the Cosmoscow fair will become an important condition for its existence.”
