TEXT
The ONCO wall is a portable installation which aims to provide a platform to share stories told by (previous) cancer patients about their illness.
Made possible by crowd funding and cooperative funding, the Onco Wall is situated at the entrance to hospitals and clinical institutes. Anybody can simply enter the pod and use headphones to listen to stories that have been uploaded to a dedicated web site.
The locations are often busy and quite noisy, so it was necessary to create an intermediatespace for the sharing of stories with family and/or friends. From this intermediate space you enter the pods which enable maximum concentration for listening to the stories. The interior is coated in felt for its acoustic properties, and to create a 'warmer' environment.
The pods themselves are designed and organized to reflect the structure of cancer cells. This includes the illuminating holes in the ceilings. The pods can be deployed individually, or rearranged depending on their surroundings to reflect the growth and reproduction of cancer cells. When not in use they form a closed wall that reflects the structure of a healthy cell.
