In french, the noun “arrangements” both defines the arrangement of objects and the agreement of parts. Spatial organizations and power structures collapse in a single instance, where one defines the other and vice versa.  

“arrangements” aims at the creation of Trans-habitats, temporal and physical spaces where
organic and inorganic elements find ecological logics of distribution, symbiosis and hierarchies. Starting from the understanding that nature is created as a process of ceaseless morphogenic modulations, “arrangements” explores the aesthetic of the event and of the ritual.
