The tile picture is less an object in the room than a space- defining element: it takes a corner from it, gives it a slant, flows over into the floor, and redimensions the space.
A relief system
whose parts can be playfully rearranged
again and again. Possibilities of wall
pictures emerge. The intersection of
standardized modular construction and
craft were explored.
Comparing bodies and spaces, creating proportions, questioning what scale one gives oneself; the human body is a point of orientation for grasping a size. If we change the dimension of our body, we simultaneously change the relationship to everything that surrounds us.
The work CITY REEF shows in five pictures Lokremise St.Gallen as an enlivened stone structure that has already survived many years. Like an urban reef, it offers cultural living space for the city‘s inhabitants and visitors. It stands independently in the cityscape like a cliff that withstands currents of urban development and styles. Thus, the Lokremise becomes a point of orientation and a landmark in St.Gallen and Switzerland.
It became noticeable how even the
smallest events become big issues and
distinguish us. Scans of material, things
left lying around, things found, or even a
cut in the finger made this clear. Things
that were not simply visible, but had to
be illuminated, revealed astonishing
structures. It is the space between human
and dress. It is a zone that flickers,
explodes, tenses and expands, is dusty,
scratched up, dirty and steaming. It is a
zone, that functions as a filter on which
some things settle and harden. The
exhibition „DRESS“ shows white coats
that are oversized just like the scans.
The space between human and coat is
enlarged and the own flickering filter
zone becomes experienceable. Dust, dirt,
explosions, expansions and hardenings
are allowed to have space on these coats.
