Untitled Hanging Installation

Created during a workshop with students at the Kunstuniversität Linz, this tensile installation occupies a staircase in a building erected by the Third Reich during World War II. Sports netting and bulk quantities of recycled clothing and sheets form a delicately balanced network overhead, anchored by an enormous egg-shaped wad of clothing that diverts foot traffic on the stairs. Students passing through could walk around it or push it aside like a large punching bag, the egg functioning simultaneously as counterweight and obstacle.
