Ninho Globo景观装置丨葡萄牙丨Atelier YokYok

摘要

Abstract

Ninho Globo 是一座由手工建造的纪念性球体，坐落于葡萄牙 Salvaterra do Extremo 起伏而多风的地貌之中。作品以当地出产的黑色片岩砌筑而成，唤起人们对天体、巢穴以及土地地质记忆的联想。该作品邀请观者进行一种直接而身体性的空间体验，引导我们反思人与栖居环境、公共性以及时间流逝之间的关系，同时在地方历史与当代艺术实践之间建立起联系。

Ninho Globo is a monumental, hand-built sphere set in the windswept landscape of Salvaterra do Extremo, Portugal. Crafted from local black schist, it evokes celestial bodies, nests, and the geological memory of the land. The artwork invites to a direct, physical encounter, questioning our relationship with habitat, the common good, and the passage of time, while bridging local history and contemporary artistic practice.

开放的场地

An Open Site

Salvaterra do Extremo 位于葡萄牙中部、与西班牙接壤的东部边境，这座村庄与邻国保持着延续数百年的历史联系。场地地形独特，介于一处岬地与防御据点之间，俯瞰由 Erges 河峡谷切割而成的伊比利亚高原。项目所在位置曾是名为 “furdas” 的旧有建筑群，建于风化形成的花岗岩基底之上，以干砌石结构构成。如今这些曾用于养猪的设施已被废弃，场地中仍保留着数十道低矮的石墙，围合出若干空间，其间点缀着覆以砂浆石板的小型庇护结构。这一微型景观深受人类活动塑造，兼具遗产与考古价值。场地完全暴露于自然环境之中，向东可远望西班牙方向，包括 Peñafiel 城堡，向西则眺望葡萄牙腹地。作品以“在地生成”的方式构思完成，源自艺术家对这一常年受风、随太阳与天体运行而不断变化的边境地景的感知。

Located in central Portugal, at the eastern border with Spain, the village of Salvaterra do Extremo has maintained centuries-long ties with its neighbor. The site occupies a singular topography, perched between a promontory and a defensive post overlooking the Hispano-Portuguese plateau, carved by the gorges of the Rio Erges. The project is set at the heart of former “furdas,” built from dry stone on a granite base sculpted by the elements. Now abandoned, this former pig-farming site comprises dozens of low stone walls forming enclosures with their miniature shelters covered in mortared stone slabs. It creates a small landscape strongly shaped by human intervention and endowed with heritage and archaeological significance. Open to the elements, the location offers a panoramic view east towards Spain, including the Castelo de Peñafiel, and west towards Portugal. Conceived in situ, the work emerged from the artists’ perception of a site swept by winds, constantly evolving under the path of the sun and the heavenly bodies, anchored in a singular borderland topography.

创作意图

Intentions

球体在此被视为最本质的几何形态，既象征天体，也唤起人们对地球作为共同栖居之所的意识，同时回溯其矿物性的起源。从几何学角度而言，球体是空间利用最为“经济”的形态，代表着自然的平衡状态。它同时蕴含稳定性与潜在的运动感，在重力与平衡之间取得张力。这一形式既传达出恒久感，也通过身体与空间的关系，将体验者纳入其中。

The sphere is invoked here as the quintessential geometric form, evoking celestial bodies and an awareness of the planet as a shared place. It recalls its mineral origins. Geometrically, it represents the most “economical” use of space and natural equilibrium. It embodies both stability and potential movement, gravity and balance. It conveys a sense of permanence, while engaging the body of those who experience it in a physical and spatial relationship.

裂谷

The Canyon

球体表面裂开一道缝隙，引导人进入内部。这一裂缝既象征水的痕迹，也暗示其缺席——水在 Salvaterra 是一种珍贵而关键的资源，其长期流动塑造了岩石地貌，正如 Erges 河峡谷所展现的那样。进入中空空间的体验令人联想到岩洞、巢穴等自然形成的庇护结构——这些“自然建筑”为生命的栖居与生长提供了条件。这是一个巢穴，还是一颗行星？尺度在两种意象之间游移，由此引发疑问：这个巢穴为谁而建？是否可以被使用？又该如何在不消耗它的前提下加以使用，使其得以延续？在我们之后，又将由谁来到这里？

A fissure appears, inviting entry. It illustrates both the trace and the absence of water, a precious and vital element whose value is well known in Salvaterra, and whose flow shapes rock over time, as seen in the Rio Erges canyon. The experience of visiting the hollowed volume evokes rocky cavities that serve as habitats or nests—natural architectures that provide shelter for life to settle and develop. Is it a nest or a planet? This play of scale between two concepts raises questions: For whom is this nest? Can it be used? It challenges our relationship to the common good: how can it be used responsibly so that it endures? Who will come after us?

黑色片岩与社区

Black Schist & Community

葡萄牙黑色片岩（Xisto Preto）以其层理结构，在地质时间与建造时间之间建立起对话。材料取自塑造葡萄牙中部地区身份认同的土地，与花岗岩形成对比的同时，也强化了地域、文化与社区之间的联系。直径 5 米的球体通过艺术家多次驻地 Salvaterra 村庄完成构思与建造，这一过程促成了与当地居民的交流与工作坊活动。作品由艺术家与本地工匠共同手工完成，采用低技术、简朴的方法，以尊重场地并鼓励社区参与。在耐心、好奇心与集体能量的共同作用下，这些建造行为最终形成了一件兼具纪念性与时间感的作品。

Portuguese black schist (Xisto Preto), layered in formation, creates a dialogue between geological and architectural timeframes. Sourced from the land that shapes central Portugal’s identity, it contrasts with the granite while reinforcing cultural ties between territory and community. The 5-meter-diameter sphere was conceived and realized following several residencies on site in the village of Salvaterra, which gave rise to exchanges and workshops with local residents around the project. It was handcrafted by the artists and local workers using low-tech, simple methods chosen to respect the site and involve inhabitants. With patience, curiosity, and collective energy, these gestures resulted in a work that is both monumental and timeless.

策展与基金

Curatorship & Fund

Landscape Together & Experimenta Paisagem

Ninho Globo 诞生于 Landscape Together 项目，该项目由位于波尔图的建筑事务所 MAG–Marques de Aguiar 发起并策划。MAG 同时也是露天博物馆 Museu Experimenta Paisagem 的创始团队。MAG 邀请 YokYok 作为合作伙伴共同参与 Landscape Together，该项目由欧盟“创意欧洲”计划联合资助。策展团队 Marta Aguiar 与 Mariana Costa 以“可持续设计”为主题，并通过社区参与的方式，邀请艺术家在 Salvaterra do Extremo 构思并完成一件在地艺术作品。如今，Ninho Globo 已成为 Museu Experimenta Paisagem 的一部分。Landscape Together 项目共联合来自 5 个国家的 17 个合作方（艺术家、社区与高校），通过艺术实践、新步道建设以及社会、文化与教育活动，共同推动葡萄牙乡村地区的发展。此外，法国文化协会（Institut Français, Paris）亦对 Ninho Globo 及 YokYok 团队相关的文化活动提供了支持。

Ninho Globo was realized through the Landscape Together project, initiated and coordinated by the curators of MAG—Marques de Aguiar, an architectural office based in Porto and founders of the open-air museum Museu Experimenta Paisagem. MAG invited YokYok to be partners on the Landscape Together project, co-funded by the European Union (Creative Europe program). The curatorial team, Marta Aguiar and Mariana Costa, challenged the artists to imagine and create a site-specific artwork in Salvaterra do Extremo, within the theme of sustainable design and through a community engagement method. Ninho Globo is now part of Museu Experimenta Paisagem. Landscape Together engaged 17 partners (artists, communities, universities) from five countries to contribute—through art, new hiking trails, and social, cultural, and educational activities—to the development of rural Portugal. The project also received support from the Institut Français in Paris for cultural activities related to Ninho Globo and the YokYok team.
