Porto Design Biennale took place in 2019 with several exhibitions across the city, and we were invited to participate in the exhibition Millennials – New Millennium Design at Galeria Municipal do Porto.
Addressing the theme ‘Post-Millennium Tension,’ we chose to reflect on one of the main concerns of this millennium: ocean pollution. To materialize this concept, we drew inspiration from objects associated with millennials’ childhoods—particularly the ‘claw machine.’
Inside this colorful, light-filled box, usually filled with teddy bears and other toys, we placed bottles and plastic objects, turning the game into a search for a fish amid the rubbish.
The entire installation was made from paper and cardboard.
