How much of the fantasy world takes place in our physical reality?
This project takes as departure Hayao Miyazaki's movie The Howl's Moving Castle. It questions the place of the imaginary in our material reality, craftmanship and the act of making, and art's status as community work.
We are a group of fans from Myazaki's worlds and decided to create some of the objects imaginated in one specific scene of The Howl's Moving Castle.
The objects are owned by the makers, made by hand, and not designed for commercial purposes.
Dreams of Lands: Unlearning the Modern Heritage for a Resilient Tomorrow.

Dreams of Lands weaves the author's personal heritage to the modern history of Europe in order to understand the current ecological crisis. Questioning the cultural European context in parallel to the native American cosmology, the author enhances the current dynamics of extraction and production that overshadow most of the urban dweller's life.
The research is followed by a gardening handbook for artists and the detailed process of the realisation of a garden in the Royal Academy of the Arts. Both are thought as concrete tools for changing the way we are being human in our world in crisis.
