Shallow Roots

The augmented reality project Shallow Roots brings an orchard into the heart of the city. Orchards have a long-standing history in Greek culture, often serving as spaces for family gatherings, relaxation, and leisure. In a park characterized by constant change and occasional conflict, the work proposes a new narrative for the use of public space and the residents’ relationship to it. It emphasizes the significance of such an addition to the urban landscape and the need for communal gathering and interaction among local communities. The digital replica of the orchard is based on a 3D scan from the island of Naxos.
