Unraveling: New Spaces by Davor Ereš, Jelena Mitrović, Igor Pantić, Sonja Krstić, Ivana Najdanović, Petar Laušević

“Unraveling: New Spaces” was created for the Serbian Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale. This ever-changing installation treats wool, a material rarely associated with architecture, as the medium of a circular work.

Knitted segments are suspended from the ceiling and gradually unraveled by solar-powered motors. From the first day, the installation moves, relaxes, and subtly deforms, revealing a different state with each visit. After six months, it completes a full cycle – from yarn to structure, to yarn again – leaving a spatial memory in place of a permanent form. The project draws on Serbian craft traditions and an iterative process linking digital modeling with full-scale prototyping. Developed by architects, textile designers, and kinetic engineers, it proposes an architecture that is tactile, open-ended, and materially responsible, able to evolve, dissolve, and begin again.
