The film Dark Star (2006), and the timber structures Pleasure Island and Fantasy Island (2007), took their starting points from the American house-truck movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and the hand-built-shelters associated with the \u0026lsquo;back-to-the-land\u0026rsquo; movements of the same period. These interests are continued in a series of newly commissioned sculptures and shelters.

De film Dark Star (2006) en de houten structuren Pleasure Island en Fantasy Island (2007) namen als vertrekpunt de Amerikaanse huis-op-vrachtwagen-beweging van de jaren 1960 en 1970, en de handgemaakte toevluchtsoorden van de \u0026lsquo;back-to-the-land\u0026rsquo;-beweging van diezelfde periode. Die interesses komen verder tot uiting in een reeks van nieuwe sculpturen en schuilplaatsen in opdracht. \u003cem\u003eFalling into Place\u003c/em\u003e zet hun verkenningstocht en onderzoek in autarkische culturen voort. Het boek brengt veel elementen van de research van de onderzoekers samen met sketches en tekeningen, met een verhaal dat deels sciencefiction is, deels geschiedenis, deels autobiografie en deels sprookje.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.morison.info/fallingintoplace.html\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":1871,"name":"Heather \u0026 Ivan Morison","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
