Nature is the only witness of forgotten stories that transformed Switzerland from age to age. Forgotten tales where trees, mountains and waters were the main characters of past centuries.Target
The international target coming for Expo can find out all the ancient stories about Switzerland and its role as main way.Analysis
Switzerland means technology or nature, and I decided to empathise its origin and its connection to Mother Nature looking for tales, historical facts or traditions that will narrates that.Attention to detail
I want to reproduce the same sensations that felt the ancient people or what a single drop of water saw in the last centuries.
The natural elements that control this land are centuries-old forest, passage mountains and the profusion of springs and lakes
THE MOUNTAINS
Ancient people had crossed over these trails hearing the legends that took place here.THE WATERS
Along the way to the lake, the water drop peeks at landscapes and events, such as the story of William Tell.
THE TREES
Full immersion in the forest, where the light illuminates the signs on the barks.THE MOUNTAINS
Tight and hard passage along these ways unchanged for centuries.THE WATERS
The water distortion reflects what happened outside.
THE TREES
The forest is dominated by natural sounds and is characterized by signs leaving by people from centuries.THE MOUNTAINS
These ways listened and saw all the battles and ancient crowd that pass to these tight passage.THE WATERS
The recreation of the springs and the lakes exactly where they born.
