Foundin

2014, 2015 / Installation / Website and figurines

Foundin is an interactive, public art installation of tiny figurines left in public spaces to be found by passersby.

Before the installation, a participant adopts a figurine and writes a message on what they are waiting for in life. All adopted figurines are then left in public spaces.

When a figurine is found, the finder can reply to the message through the unique URL printed on the figurine. The finder can also email the participant in private.

All figurines are shown on the website together with their respective messages and replies.
