Shred-It! Collective is made up of five young creatives working across fashion, architecture, fabrication and theatre design. Their aim is to create installations that bring a bit of fun and colour to the world. They do this through creating unique, ephemeral pieces which are often evocative of marine or alien life. Their first installation was The Reef at last years Brainchild festival, since then we have expanded, creating several installations for festivals and events.
This year Brainchild has attracted an unexpected visitor. There is something living amongst the trees; something alien, something growing. A life form has settled in the woods and has begun to spread it’s tendrils. Breathing in and out, reaching wider and wider, it seemingly draws on the energy of the trees and the earth below. The colourful pulsating globules grow and shrink, inflating and deflating with an eerie rhythm. As the shapes grow and shrink a tranquil peace descends upon Brainchild; the cares of the party goers are drawn away, absorbed by the colourful, convulsing mass of this strange beast.
SPORE is an installation piece intended to bring an other-wordly quality to the woods of Brainchild. It is a series of constantly breathing shapes hung in amongst the trees. Softly glowing through the night, the piece promises to become a party-worthy centrepiece.
