Gallery 45,000 l: Volume for engaged architecture has been testing the possibilities and limits of interaction with passersby for a year, exploring the boundaries of displaying architectural themes and placing them in the context of the city and location. The next installation will be presented on Thursday, May 25, at 18:00 by the Austrian GANG ATELIER, consisting of Patrick Pazdzior and Dennis Stratmann. The gallery showcase will transform into an interactive site-specific work titled MOHRF (Multitude of Highly Reflective Faces). By layering reflective materials and lighting, it will offer passersby a new experience while walking through the passage.
The installation contemplates the goals of each of us. Is a career, art, raising children, saving the planet, living sustainably, ... important to us? Is that not enough? Let’s think “out of the box”! But wait, what if we are outside the box and start looking inside? The shimmering installation MOHRF can offer several free associations: homage to success represented by buildings of the financial sector with their reflective glazing, an experiment on the basic physical principles of reflection, light, and the functioning of our visual perception. Last but not least, it may remind one of a smartphone screen. When the light is on, we see “inside”; when it’s off, we only see the reflection. In the case of the showcase, the screen doesn’t show a lot of content, but it still shows enough. Different lighting conditions and situations throughout the day offer new perspectives on the installation, as well as the very interaction of visitors who capture the installation and multiply images with their phones. What reflection will you see?
