THE WORLD IS OUT THERE TO BE SEEN

A Soft Architecture for Collective Perception
To mark PROJECT LOBSTER’s 7th anniversary, NAKED SPACE transforms VASTO into a space of shared stillness—through a large-scale inflatable seating installation designed for listening, presence, and spatial rest.

For this collaborative occasion, NAKED SPACE proposes an installation built around a single surface: a large inflatable floor structure made from semi-transparent brown PVC. Irregular in shape, softly edged, and rhythmically depressed, the form invites not only sitting, but dwelling, pausing, recalibrating.

The structure rests directly on the gallery floor, its soft undulating folds creating a rhythm of presence. Each indentation offers the body an intimate seat—an invitation to slow down and listen together without hierarchy or spectacle. Ambient light glows gently across the surface. The architecture holds stillness without needing to speak.

This is not a conventional seating design. It is a communal topology: one that shifts the rules of hosting and display. It encourages spatial equality, non-linear orientation, and collective attention as form.

As part of the activation, PROJECT LOBSTER invited a live sound performance by PEDRO VIAN, composed directly into the spatial fabric. Sound moved through material and bodies, not staged but shared—subtle, embedded, ambient. Here, structure becomes the atmosphere. Seating becomes a signal. Space listens back.
