Royal Chambers : Home As Host, Host As Home

Beskrivelse

"Royal Chambers" by Wang & Söderström explores the concept of home through five distinct works that engage with the digital and environmental shifts shaping our world today. This collection reveals the complex dynamics of power and perspective in an evolving 'phygital' landscape.

An exploration of home as a dynamic ecosystem in a merging physical and digital world.

Wang & Söderström bring together five projects that delve into how we relate to the idea of home amid rapid technological and environmental change. These pieces illustrate the intertwined shifts in power and viewpoints within a world where the physical and digital collide.

The book not only presents these works but also offers insight into the creative processes behind them. It features essays from five contributing writers who expand on the concept of home as a rich, multifaceted ecosystem. Additional content includes a brief biography of the duo, photos of their studio, and an index highlighting selected works from 2016 to 2022.

Working in a hybrid practice that bridges the tangible and virtual, Wang & Söderström reflect on how technology is reshaping our world. Positioned between the often unclear present and a future that can be surprisingly perceptive, "Royal Chambers" proposes a broadened understanding of home, care, and connection-from the smallest scale to the largest-illuminating a more integrated and nuanced vision of life and living.

Wang & Söderström are a Swedish design and artistic pair, Anny Wang and Tim Söderström, currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The text contributions come from James Taylor-Foster, Jazmin Morris, Magdalena Rozenberg, Oscar Salguero, Yasaman Sheri, David Zilber, alongside Wang & Söderström themselves.
