‘bidum’ by laetitia florin images courtesy of laetitia florin / ECAL
recent ecole cantonale d’art de lausanne graduate, laetitia florin has designed ‘bidum’, a dynamic form that is affected by both its context and environment.
the object, which is only defined by what it contains, is handcrafted out of spring steel wrapped in cotton and held together by hidden rivets.

research for the project initially began with the observation of lines and grids, their interactions, the resulting illusions and how they move and interfere with their surroundings.

the limber mesh of the form moves with the slightest breeze or motion without collapsing or tumbling, giving the object ‘life’ while altering its overall form and appearance.
