A Constructed World is the collaborative project, founded in 1993, of Geoff Lowe and Jacqueline Riva, based in Paris, France. ACW believe in the notion of collectivity. Their practice is concerned with the multiple narratives we use to construct and understand our world. They encourage the exchange of ideas and embrace the idea of chaos. Influenced by post-structuralism and relational aesthetics, ACW explores how reality is perceived through cultural models.
