DAS SCHÖNSTE BLUMENDORF

“The village with the most beautiful flowers”, an installation for the exhibition “Topping out ceremony” at “Schaumbad – freies Atelierhaus Graz”, 2014.
At a certain time while building studio rooms into the big hall at Schaumbad¹, the construction looked like a street in a village.
In rural areas of Austria, a competition – which village is most beautifully decorated with flowers – is fought in summertime. This custom was the triggering point …
The installation consisted of 8 à 80 cm long cases full of flowers arranged along the corridor, measuring the 40 m exit path to the new emergency door. The perspective decrease in size made the length of 40m imaginable.

¹ here you find a foto how the hall looked when it was empty.
