Natsuko Uchino’s practice reflects on issues of participation and sustainability, adopting a multidisciplinary approach at the intersection of art, ecology, and agricultural practices. Produced in collaboration with glassblowers Jean-Charles Miot and Laeticia Andrighetto, the glass sculptures on display initiate a reflection on the transformation of matter, questioning the forces, constraints, and intentions that contribute to giving form to the formless. In an allusion to the precious interiors ofthe Villa that houses them, Uchino’s works are architectural models developedin reverse, from the inside out.
