For the vast area of the Creativity Gallery at the Centre Pompidou x West Bund Museum Project in Shanghai, she has created "Sid and the World Below", a space dedicated to the spirit of exploration, creation and imagination. "It started with the desire to discover new territory from the perspective of seed, one metre below ground with its own ecosystem, plant species, animal kingdom, smells, sounds, etc. It is a whole new world with its own characters: little seeds that guide the visitor. Its own ecosystem, plant species, animal kingdom, smells, sounds, etc. It is a whole new world with its own characters: little seeds that guide the visitor.
It is a unique work that focuses on the acts of exploration and questioning of an unknown underground world. Experimentation helps us understand the existing interactions with the surrounding environment and promotes reflection on the ecological challenges facing our society. The installation calls for creative and respectful behaviour. Each person contributes to its construction yet at the same time it is a place of collective adventure. "It is also a world of fun and wonder. If you like exploring imaginary worlds welcome to the world of Sid, a little acorn, and the World Below," says matali crasset
