Team 2: England & Sweden

Tjåsa Gusfors & Lisa Lindqvist

Sculpture: No Man's Land
Idea: In this sculpture we are creating an alternative history ... a time traveller's adventure. It's a fable, a fantasy of ours, to bring back
these extinct species and give them a second chance. Led by the iconic dodo, our animals travel the open sea in search of new land. This land will be free and wild and, most importantly, absent of humans.

Sculpture: Human in near future
