At a time of rising nationalism and growing geopolitical instability, international cooperation has become ever more crucial–but also, seemingly out of reach. Taking London Design Biennale as a site of global representation, the Dutch pavilion aims to manifest this process of geopolitical disorientation through an installation of site-specific forms waiting to be exported and distributed throughout Somerset House.
Acting as a supportive infrastructure that can facilitate different moments of discussion and gathering, a series of ambiguous fragments have been designed to be recontextualised and used by other biennale participants. By dissolving and redistributing the Dutch Pavilion, the expected routing of the biennale is reorientated towards new anchor points that can foster discussions around the common interests and overlapping sympathies necessary to overcoming our increasingly fragmented world.
