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.

I Made Sutama & Bogdan Kutsevych
I Made Sutama participates for the first time and Bogdan Kutsevych for the forth time.
Sculpture: Human in near future
Idea: When AI will take over the human occupation, there will be two possibilities. Humans have more time for themselves then turn inward and blossom or the second possibility, they die out of misery.

Team 4: Poland
Piotr Boron & Lucyna Kujawa

Sculpture: Resting Lion
Idea: Lions are a symbol of strength and power. Our work is intended to remind us that it is an endangered species. It shows in a humourous way the lion's lazy character.
