Graduation project
Sphere of play
Mil Gevers
A bounce house encourages people with different personalities to share a collective experience by bouncing together.
We are influenced and shaped by the groups, societies, and cultures to which we belong. Therefore, 'being' is collective rather than individual. 'Sphere of play' is a materialization of the idea of collective being that takes the form of a bounce house. It has seven unique ways to enter. Each entrance represents an abstraction of characters as seen through Mil Gevers’ perspective using colours that he repeatedly notices in the expression of different identities. Every opening leads to a central meeting point, where the materiality establishes a physical connection between individuals. When we jump together, we playfully move through gravity's pull, creating a collective experience. It presents a space that takes away the pressure of explaining and lets the act of bouncing together take over.
