Madrid. Nearby the M30. A nameless man goes against the current of the constant traffic tirelessly. In one pocket he has a map.

Elastic Habitat is an immersive installation - you could call it a kind of playground - that invites you to explore, touch, and even carry textile sculptures. Helena Dietrich designed the textile figures with Janneke Raaphorst, based on one-on-one sessions with various guests. In these discussions, they investigated their personal perceptions of their own bodies. Does your personality completely coincide with this body and everything surrounding it? And if you change it in any way, do you change too? You literally inhabit an imaginary body and thus have the time to explore your own identity in an uninhibited, sensory, intuitive way.
