Translating the architectural concept of "flowing space" into the ephemeral moving image, Claudia Larcher creates a space from photo fragments of Mies buildings that continuously recreates and dissolves. An artistic approach to the paradigms of modernist architecture that collapses the guiding ideas of transparency and reduction of form. Two-dimensional photographs of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's buildings are the source material for Claudia Larcher's artistic approach to the paradigms of modernist architecture. In her video animation, she adds fragments of buildings cut out of magazines next to and on top of each other, sets skeletal buildings, lattice structures, glass fronts and floating wall elements in motion, lets them slowly rotate around their own axis, penetrate and cover each other. Translating the architectural concept of "flowing space" into the fleeting moving image, Larcher unfolds a space that continuously recreates itself and dissolves again: transformations and superimpositions of perspectives, dimensions, tonality and rhythm in space and time. Until the Miesian guiding ideas of transparency and reduction of form finally collapse in the simultaneity of planes, surfaces and colours.
