Royal Chambers

“A royal chamber, the prime cell of an ant colony in which a queen expends a life in continual creation, advocates for the notion of home as something more than four walls and a roof. Homes can be understood at manifold scales; they are around and within us. Our bodies, microbiomes of viruses, proteins, bacteria, archaea, and fungi, are one scale. The data-driven networks that we embed ourselves in and are dependent on, another. Earth is a home of a scale too challenging to comprehend in its rich and intertwined fullness. Between the visceral present, clear as mud, and the future – often clearer than we give it credit for – this project unfolds the idea of home as a multifaceted ecosystem.” / Wang & Söderström

This marks the outset of the first solo exhibition in Denmark by the architect and design duo Wang & Söderström. In creating the graphic exhibition design, we delved deeply into their premise of technology, surveillance, and a speculative universe. What is real? Created with a chroma key background or modeled in a 3D universe… the exhibition invites reflection and seamlessly blends the physical and digital worlds.The graphical universe was later expanded into a book with the same name, published in 2023.
