Beezome




Beezome - 2008 © Analucia Feracci - plant based pigments, sourdough starter, fur, wooden sticks, Epping Forest clay @ The Hornbeam Permaculture centre/ wall installation dedicated to Organiclea

Beezome shows underground threads linking independent communities in East London. 
It works as a mind mapping system of Temporary spaces and Pirate Autonomous Zones(TAZ/PAZ) in this specific area of London.
It visually highlights a rich and detailed network of people, from Permaculture activists to unschooling families, and how underground communities exchange skills creatively, in a non hierarchically manner. 
It also works as metaphor for the bee pollinating the flower : a bee that drinks the nectar of the flower is no longer a bee but 'a bee-becoming-flower', while the flower in return, by disgesting a system of vital information, becomes the bee.
