Let us imagine new worlds where the sublime praxis of the human intellect, the artistic creation, is placed at the service of nature in the same place where it gathers its fruits.

Inventing new worlds through the synergy of art and agriculture

Ego Plantavi emerged with the idea of converging in the same project two great pillars of human existence, art and agriculture, as well as a tribute to nature. We conceive unique and multifunctional spaces that sustain the body and soul. We conceptualize edible gardens or urban orchards in collaboration with artists. We want each project we undertake to be a work of art in itself. These are not temporary works or exhibitions, but artistic installations that have at the same time the functionality of an edible garden or vegetable garden. However, our projects can also be designed in such a way that they can host some kind of temporary exhibition, activity or event. Our innovative designs transform the chosen location into a unique and extraordinary new world.

How do we do it?

We begin by dedicating the necessary time to reflect on each and every aspect of each design, with the objective of generating a unique idea for each project. We combine the client's wishes with the proposal of the chosen artist(s) and the technical needs of the edible gardens to make them functional and productive.

The meeting with the client in one or several sessions determines in detail the theme and the central purposes of the project. Once defined, we will choose the artist or artists and the expert farmer, who will determine the technical and agronomic needs. In this phase the objective is to conceptualize the idea. The sources to find the inspiration for the central idea of each design are infinite: some peculiarity of the place or environment where it will be installed, a passage from a book, a family photo, a dream to be fulfilled or fulfilled, a melody, an object with a special sentimental value... Above all, we seek that each proposal is unique and personalized, adjusted to the person or persons who commission it. Painting, literature, sculpture, performing arts, conceptual art, music, cinematography, sound installations, multimedia, interactive art: any artistic discipline, or a combination of them, can be chosen for the realization of our projects.

Regarding the selection of artists, ego Plantavi can take direct suggestions from the client or provide options of collaborating artists that fit the purpose of the project. If there is no specific preference, ego Plantavi oversees finding the most suitable artists for each case. The search is conducted in a wide variety of venues, from art galleries to music festivals, allowing us to find the artists that best fit the needs of each client. Although the aesthetic aspect in our designs is important, it is not necessarily the central element in the conceptualization process and can be ignored by express desire of the client to achieve other purposes. Sound installations or conceptual art are a good example of artistic disciplines that, when applied to our installations, can give less value to aesthetics in order to make room for other elements in order to achieve the desired artistic experience.

Terra incognita

Since we are heading towards unknown worlds by combining art and agriculture, the possibilities are endless, and the limits are only imposed by the imagination and the agronomical obstacles we may encounter. The artists who collaborate with us are given carte blanche, following the client's directives if there are any, which allows creativity to be the master of each project and the limits are only imposed by agronomical and budgetary constraints. This creative freedom allows each installation to be unique and reflect the vision and style of each artist involved.

On the other hand, we value both the creativity and innovation of our collaborating artists’ proposals. We firmly believe that innovation is the key to staying at the forefront of our field and offering unique and effective solutions. For us, creativity and innovation are more than just buzzwords: they are fundamental principles that allow us to differentiate ourselves from the competitors.

Functional and sustainable spaces

The agronomic functionality of the space is obtained through a deep dialogue between the artist and the expert farmer. On the other hand, our projects start from an ethical basis and use sustainable and as far as possible self-sufficient cultivation techniques. From an ecological point of view, we focus on the material resources that will be necessary for their elaboration. Our premise is to use materials that, in addition to being environmentally friendly, ensure the durability over time of our facilities.

On the other hand, depending on the type of project, the artistic intervention can support the improvement of the agronomic production of the space, i.e. a sound installation that assists plant growth, systems that help collect rainwater or support structures for climbing plants, are some examples.

Customers

We also adapt to various sites such as gardens, roofs, terraces, country grounds, courtyards of residents’ communities: we have the technical solutions that allow us to adapt to each site.
