In the exhibition "Oltre Terra. Why Wool Matters" the multidisciplinary design studio Formafantasma investigates the history ecology and global dynamics of the extraction and production of wool. A wide range of artworks agricultural and cultural objects photographs videos and other materials shows how wool is more than simply a raw material for the design and textile industries. The domestic sheep as we know them today evolved over the course of hundreds of years. Humans gave sheep food and protection from predators and got wool in return - a material with magical properties that profoundly altered the course of both human and animal history. The wider installation of Oltre Terra is a critical take on the display mode of the diorama. Commonly used in natural history museums to represent a static scene from nature here the diorama is exploded into an installation that contains six life-size reproductions of different sheep breeds a carpet made from discarded wool fibers as well as documents films by-products of manufacturing processes and various types of organic matter. All the elements are presented side by side to counteract persisting categorizations that separate human from animal and product from biological matter. Ed.: Kristian Wikborg Wiese Marianne Yvenes.
