SPHERES

“The question of WHERE we are is more meaningful than ever and more important than the question of WHAT we are. We need to focus on the place that people create to be who they are. This place I have given the name atmosphere. Spheres are space creations that act as immune system.“ from Spheres by Peter Sloterdijk
The series Spheres is inspired by the Spheres triology of Peter Sloterdijk.

Our current society is about group formation, lifestyle, marketing. It’s fast, casual and consists of several Spheres: bubbles, temporary identities, networks of connectivity. Sometimes you feel you are inside the network and another time you are excluded.

Spheres are not anchored spots, but fleeting places. Personal creations and relationships that express an atmosphere through colours and boundaries. They are about appearance, perception and believe. The Sphere interpret a temporary thought, mood and determinates our identity (individual / group / society).

The colour determines the atmosphere, it provokes a visual identity and appearance to a situation. Spheres has its own colour palette of (neon)green and violet. A colour combination that doesn’t match but seduces to look longer.

A Sphere is visible in a conversation, a situation or intimate moment between people.
