Nathalie Quagliotto - Statement
Quagliotto designs interventionist participatory play structures, situations, games,
and constructions that hold the delicate tension of being functional and playful
at the same time as being non-functional and hostile toward participants.
Her projects create an urge to intersect childhood temptation with mature
remoteness and present the possibility of eradicating timidity for the public,
allowing visitors the opportunity to play and challenge themselves at any age
in order to overcome embarrassment in front of a wider population.
Colliding an environment of physical and mental activity, direction,
desire, perception, reflection, confusion and distance in a single project,
her work is known to border around the unexpected and the importance of the
participants' experience and imprint that can surface from a created situation.
She is known to employ a mix of Conceptualism and Relational Aesthetics.
