Claudia Larcher’s artistic work deals with architecture. As a film maker and visual artist with a focus in animation, collage and installation she is interested in private places, that are connected to familiarity, intimacy and memory, questioning the meaning of “home” and “identity” as well as in public architecture, its history and collective identity.
Her videos interweave fragments of specific buildings and its surroundings into a filmic collage. By deconstructing and reorganising the elements, she creates a unique portrait of the architecture and its environment, which shows the formal characteristics of the place as well as its intrinsic characteristics. People appear rarely in her work, and when they do they are only present on the basis of the traces they leave behind.
Claudia Larcher's collage work is is based on fragments from the architectural books and magazines. The title of the publication and the date of the issue provide the title of the collage work. Each individual page forms a collage layer of its own, whereby the most various architectural components are assembled together: interior and exterior views, details and aerial shots.
In Yogyakarta she was researching vernacular architecture, as well as the influence of contemporary architecture on the society and its environment.
