Bridge-Sewing

Between the old and new Versamertobel bridges, overarching the picturesque Versamer Schlucht and Rabiusa river, Hong Kong artist Jaffa Lam has spanned hundreds of articles of recycled clothing donated by local Safiental communities. While the location provokes the potentiality of communication and interaction between people, this somewhat uncanny arrangement implies intimacy, evokes memories and generates a transformative dialogue between nature and humans.
