To a certain degree sacredness is in the eye of the beholder / Act V
In the latest version of the project, in the Neue Galerie Innsbruck, the installation takes the form of a variation in the three consecutive rooms. There, the affinities between architecture, sculpture and textiles merge to create a stage-like effect.
In the entrance, the visitor encounters a series of digital collages, that function also as an introduction to the installation works. Black Athena is produced by scans of an Athena tourist statuette. Sequence is a series of digital collages having as its source Architect’s Congress, the film by Lazlo Moholy-Nagy documenting the 1933 CIAM Congress. The three subsequent spaces are occupied by steel structures combined with textile works. The structures take their proportions from the Le Corbusier’s Modulor, which has been here adjusted to the artist’s body proportions. The second element of these alternating mise en scènes is the textile work Material M. The latter’s motif, created through the reproduction of Medea’s typeface from the film release poster, is printed by hand-made stamps on artificial leather. These two elements, together with the floor sculptures Cast, create alternating choreographies that conclude in the last space as a “room-within-a room”, the final scene of Act V.
