CHAOPOLIS - SWDZ ART SPACE

A very good opportunity to show new works in a very good setting. The team at So Weit Die Zukunft did a fantastic work and it was a pleasure to introduce my work to so many new people.
The common topic of the work shown was the difference between the city as a rigorous planned space and the rich chaos that results.

It's Early Somewhere

The big city knows no night and the days have become shifts. Do we live in the same time zone as our neighbours? We are juxtapozed physically but not chronologically. My sunset is your sunrise and vice-versa.

Hanging Garden

Experimenting with photographs of a modeern metal roof brought me to this structure, reminiscent of a retrofuturist idea of fields and gardens planted on rotating cylinders. I decided to push that idea to a whole city-like structure.

The Mechanics of Lightness

What allows the Rakocsi bridge to appear as minimal pure lines is actually all the hidden things that appear below. A chaos of shapes, beams and grids and cables.
