Abiotic Equilibrium

Francisco Daniel Cevallos Barragán

PMQ - Dec 2019

05.12.2019–10.01.2020

Location: Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre & Hollywood Garden, PMQ

The wheelbarrow had a strong link with nature and productivity. This invention transformed the way humans live with nature. The Chinese wheelbarrow took advantage of the abiotic energy (like wind) to increase the production capacity. If, on the one hand, water, sunlight, air, and soil constitute part of the system that makes life possible; on the other hand, the wheelbarrow deals with uncertainties around balance. In this system, everything needs equilibrium.

Abiotic equilibrium proposes a way to visualize those intangible relations around the contemporary human-nature discourse by rethinking the ancient Chinese’s practice. It interacts with people through abiotic components of the place, forming a system in equilibrium of its own.
