Far away from home, in a different county presented as a representative of their specie observed and documented by paying visitors. Staring at animals hardly moving, or not even visible enclosed in their new artificial habitat. Enclosures as single boxes, placed beside each other creating islands of habitats and animals surrounded and enclosed by walkways. Together shaping a gated community which is also known as a zoo.
Flamingo Island has the aim to up the zoo. Flamingo Island blurs boundaries between zoo and city and between animal and visitor. A space to discover freedom for both animal and visitor within the enclosed domain. A space in which the landscape relates from natural habitat of the Chilean Flamingo. A landscape that servers the flamingo in all his needs and takes te visitor on a journey.
