Health forest
(Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel FHNW, 2023) Egger, Deborah; Savic, Selena
Different studies, mainly from Japan, demonstrate the positive effects of 'Shinrin Yoku' – a method of so-called 'forest bathing' – on body, mind and mental health. Through a trip to Japan, I was able to study the topic through different approaches. Among other things, visiting a forest station and Japanese gardens as well as interacting with a researcher, served as inspiration for my work. During my master thesis I developed a concept in collaboration with the Health Center Unterengadin, which guides clients and tourists through a multisensory experience of the forest. There are niches where the participants are guided through the multisensory experience by sculptural objects, landscape design as well as illustrations and text. Ivur e Acelisia are small beings that live in the forest. They are neither human nor nature. They are connected to nature and become the plants or other things in the environment if they perceive it in a very mindful way. They guide the visitors through the place and through the different exercises by using illustrations and texts.
