Rhubarb
RHUBARB reimagines the courtyard as a stage for collective dreams. Inspired by the festival’s mission to reveal hidden heritage through ephemeral art, RHUBARB blends architecture, sound, and light into an immersive experience that celebrates the active role of the audience. Like dreams, the installation awakens through interaction—movement triggers a symphony of sound and light, transforming viewers into participants. Crafted with sustainable 3D-printed materials—from recycled plastics to plant-based biopolymers— the intervention reflects our commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. As light filters through the courtyard, shifting shadows echo the fleeting beauty of dreams—inviting all to step in, engage, and imagine.
