Hermit’s Bivouac

Zagreb / 2023. / Damjan Brundić

Hermit’s Bivouac

About project

When a hermit leaves society, their spiritual journey begins. Gradually constructing the ascent and shelter from prefabricated aluminum elements atop the TE–TO Žitnjak chimney represents a hermit’s mission to embody spiritual work. The chimney, an engineering and technical structure and a monumental vertical of mid-20th-century industrial processes, continues to operate but faces an uncertain future. Once decommissioned, its robust reinforced concrete structure will endure for centuries.
