六十分鐘人

2000年威尼斯雙年展

“六十分鐘人”是由芬蘭建筑師卡薩格蘭和林塔拉為2000年威尼斯雙年展設計的建筑裝置藝術(shù)品。該作品是這樣形成的:卡薩格蘭和林塔拉找到一條廢棄的船舶，在船上栽種橡樹林，該橡樹林所需要的肥料為威尼斯市民在長達60分鐘內(nèi)排放的有機廢料（起到一個生物清潔和堆肥作用），故命名為“六十分鐘人”。他們解釋道：

不久前我們獲得了參加2000威尼斯雙年展的邀請。他們的總策展人建筑大師馬希米亞諾?福克薩斯希望我們的建筑作品能夠更好地詮釋本次展會的主題：“少一些浮華美學，多一點倫理真諦”。基于此，我們設計的是一艘擁有現(xiàn)代工業(yè)化外表的船舶，里面種植的卻是綠色森林，然后可以乘著這艘船從芬蘭航行到威尼斯。但我們從生物學家朋友們那里獲知，當行駛到BISKAYA灣附近，植物可能會枯萎，因為當?shù)氐臍夂蜃兓貏e大。他們說“所以不能帶著植物航行到那兒”，于是，我們與工作人員先乘坐一輛大貨車，并在意大利北部下車，然后開始尋找船只，最后我們找到了一艘棄船，名字叫TOPOGIGIO，它停泊在位于威尼斯以南50公里處的基奧賈港，當時船里滿是泥垢和積水，我們決定就用它了。

該作品中的所有材料全部是被回收或借來的，包括樹在內(nèi)。堪稱是各類物件臨時拼貼的藝術(shù)作品。

歷經(jīng)7周的工作，雙年展開幕，最終的作品成果《六十分鐘人》浩浩蕩蕩駛進威尼斯軍械庫海灣，展覽期間成為一座向公眾開放的天然公園綠地。

VENICE BIENNALE 2000

60 minute man is an architectonic installation by Finnish architects Casagrande & Rintala for the Venice Biennale 2000. In the work Casagrande & Rintala had planted an oak forest into an abandoned barge on top of 60 minutes worth of biologically cleaned and composted human waste from the city of Venice.

They said:

We got the invitation to participate in the Venice Biennale 2000. The director of the Biennale architect Massimilliano Fuksas wanted us to realize an architectural installation commenting on the theme of the exhibition: Citta Less Aesthetics, More Ethics.What we wanted was to have an industrial ship and plant a forest inside. Then sail with this ship from Finland to Venice. Our biologist frieds told us that the vegetation would die somewhere around the Biskaya Bay, the climate change would bee too big. "Trees don′t sail"."We ended up in North-Italy with a van with our mobile working crew and started to look after a ship.Eventually we found a barge in the port of Chioggia, some 50 km south of Venice. The barge"Topogigio" was abandoned and filled with dirt and water. We could work with this.

All the materials are recycled or borrowed. Even the trees.This is a temporary collage of material streams.

Big reward after 7 weeks of work was to sail with the forest and open it up as a public park in Venice.
