Les Chaumes装置丨法国丨Atelier YokYok

当它们出现在森林中央时，图腾般的外观极为诱人。当你进一步观察的时候，你会发现它的物质构成和体量。三座茅草组成的形象等待着你去发现。当你爬上去，伸出头往外望时，你会变成一个巨人，像蓑笠翁一样穿着这件茅草作品。

By their presence in the middle of the forest, objects with a totemic appearance intrigue. Upon closer inspection, one discovers a work of matter and volume. Three thatched figures seem to be waiting to be visited. You climb up, stick your head out. You transform into a giant, wearing the work like a garment.

Les Chaumes装置借鉴了很多重要的依据。它在森林中央以三段式的结构展现了三个不同的体量。像有机形状的图腾一样摆放，它让人联想到正在聚会的生灵。整体构成一个梦幻般的场景。你可以感受到其独特的存在。它们毛茸茸的鼓起的外形让人联想到动物，同时茅草的材料又让人联想到来自当地的建筑语言，或者是农田中的干草堆。这种对于动物毛发和人类活动的微妙融合探索了野生动物和人类文明之间的边界。触发人们关于衣着，皮肤，冬季的防寒大衣，庆祝时的装扮等等更广义的联想。

Les Chaumes is an installation rooted in various fundamental references. Its triptych stance in the middle of the forest showcases three volumes. Arranged like totems with organic shapes, they evoke creatures or spirits in a gathering. The whole forms a dreamlike place . A unique presence is felt. Their hairy and bulging appearance evokes animals, while the forms created by the thatch borrow their language from vernacular architecture or agriculture and its haystacks. This subtle blend of animal fur and human activity plays with the boundaries between wild life and civilization. It evokes a broader idea of clothing, the skin, the protective coat for winter, the ceremonial costume to be looked at.

“我们想要营造一个梦幻的林中世界，唤醒自然野生的一面，创造像宫崎骏的电影一般充满想象力的场景，同时又融合我们对于建筑，天然材料和再利用的热情。”

“We wanted to play with the dreamlike world of the forest, evoke a wild aspect, and create an imaginative scene

as a Miyazaki film, while incorporating our passion for architecture, natural materials, and reuse.”

——YokYok

好奇的游客们被邀请来参与这件作品，并且从里到外的体验它。当你踏入织物中时，你可以从顶端探出头。这时你会感到被结构包裹，卸下伪装，成为在巨大的包裹中重新发现自己内心的孩子。

Curious visitors are invited to take part in the work and experience it from the inside. One steps into the fabric to gain height and poke their head out at the top. They then experience the protective envelope. They transform. They camouflage to rediscover their inner child in a monumental garment.

茅草&循环利用

Thatch & Reuse

YokYok想要利用来自Rouen当地的本土材料：茅草。茅草是草本植物（谷物或者芦苇）的茎秆,  也可引申为利用这种100%植物和天然材料的传统屋顶建造技术。

YokYok wanted to work with a local material available in the Rouen region: thatch. Thatch refers to the hollow stems of grasses (cereals or reeds), and by extension, the traditional roofing technique using this 100% vegetal and natural material.

为了获取芦苇（Norman茅草的主要材料），通过从一个茅草屋顶的拆除现场重新回收这些茅草，YokYok事务所实现了循环利用。这里使用的茅草约有三十年的历史，没有特意为该项目收割新的芦苇。

To obtain reeds (the primary material for Norman thatch), YokYok practiced reuse by recovering it from a thatch roof removal site. The thatch used here is about 30 years old, and no reeds were cut specifically for this project.

刚刚开始在欧洲发展的循环利用对于类似茅草的易碎材料依然是不存在的。Les Chaumes装置通过延续这种本身就兼具经济、崇高、自然和可降解的材料的使用寿命，来体现循坏利用的价值。

Reuse which is beginning to develop in Europe is still nonexistent for some fragile materials like thatch. By highlighting such a resource, the work “Les Chaumes” contributes to valuing waste by extending the life of an already economical, noble, natural, and biodegradable material.

这件易碎且暂时性的作品，像是一间小屋，与周围的自然和森林环境融为一体。它计划将为Forêt Monumentale活动持续展出两年。YokYok事务所和Rouen市邀请所有人前来体验它，但不要破坏它。

The fragile and ephemeral work, like a hut, respectfully integrates into a natural and forested environment. It is expected to last for two years for the Forêt Monumentale event. YokYok and Rouen Metropole invite everyone to come and experience it without damaging it.

木结构由木板组装而成，在Eure（临近的部门）的工坊中切割成弧形构件。它的表面粉刷有面粉涂料（或瑞典涂料），是在工坊中由天然产品（面粉，亚麻籽油，黑肥皂，硫酸铁和天然颜料）制成的，为木材提供抵御潮湿，昆虫和真菌的有效室外保护。

The wooden structure was made from boards assembled and cut into curved profiles in a workshop in Eure (a neighboring department). It is painted with flour paint (or Swedish paint), made in the workshop from natural products (flour, linseed oil, black soap, iron sulfate, and natural pigments), providing effective outdoor protection for the wood against moisture, insects, and fungi.

第二层结构由劈开的竹子构成，用天然麻绳固定在木结构周围。最后，通过盖茅草屋顶的人的帮助，我们从成捆的芦苇中回收需要的茅草。芦苇的茎秆经过修剪以后，一层层的从上到下铺好，以达到防水的效果。

The secondary structure is made of split bamboo fixed around the wooden structure with natural sisal twine. Finally, the reused thatch was recovered in bundles of reeds with the help of a thatcher. The reed stems were trimmed and then placed from bottom to top allowing for waterproofing.
