Séraphin of Urtsadzor Shelter / BUREAU (Daniel Zamarbide, Carine Pimenta, Galliane Zamarbide) + NPATAK
During the summer of 2024, an interesting experience was carried out in the Armenian Caucasus mountains. A group of people somewhere in a very rocky and wild environment gathered to construct an undefined and seemingly useless multi-species artifact. They woke up at 5.30 am every morning, worked under an intense heating sun on an improvised construction site, prepared meals together three times a day, played football in the evening, and sometimes danced at night. There were some wild dogs always around, horses as well, a couple of vultures close to where they were building, invisible and dangerous snakes, and wonderful mantises. They seemed happy and tired. From afar, the experience felt absurd and beautiful at the same time.
