Vesshcell Rec Silk Hanging

Silk scarf made of locally sourced crepe silk.

The scarf features the recording of the activation of ‘Vesshcell’, a large scale public art installation activated during the Horst festival in Belgium, 2023.

The ‘Vesshcell’ is a colossal collaborative patchwork public artwork by SERAPIS, crafted from upcycled materials such as big bags and printed cotton, created by a team of 20 individuals over the course of a month for Horst, an art, music and architecture project based in Belgium, in 2023.

‘Vesschell’ is born out of the idea of rebirthing materials. It refers to a vessel (a container), a cell (that exists through symbiosis and repetition), and to a shell (a protective new skin for an existing pavilion). Working with discarded big bags, truck tarp, reused plastic foil, recycled merchandising meshes, and cotton on which these textures have been printed, the work materializes the logistics that keep the transport routes of our globalized society afloat.
