Sediments of a Space (2022)
Site installation
Exhibit Eschenbachgasse
Vienna, Austria | 2022
As a post-scriptum to exhibition “The Poiesis of Composting,” which Gui and I (as Maggessi/Morusiewicz) curated in 2021–2022, we were commissioned to conceptualize and conduct a site installation on the windows of Exhibit Eschenbachgasse, the space that hosted our exhibition for over four months. Inspired by the documenta 15 concept, built around ruangrupa’s idea of the “lumbung” (collective and interdisciplinary form of working), we aimed to make the processes and projects that our exhibition hosted rhyme with the structures, shapes, and textures of multiple foils that we glued onto the space’s windows. We documented our work with a short video, where we included a brief statement on the project’s intention:
"At some point, we realized that covering the windows of an exhibition space felt more counterintuitive than covering its floors and walls. We attempted to visualize what our memory of the space could be. (1) Break up the space. (2) Find different spaces. (3) Draw a relationship between the spaces. We found forms that still, after this journey of blurring and fragmenting our memory, would remind us of how this space feels. We picked up the remains of the process and turned them into collages, pushing their edges toward each other, letting the lines that they drew disappear and reappear in different places. A frame and an interruption at the same time. This video is an invitation to further contaminate the windows of Exhibit Eschenbachgasse and, by doing so, to complicate the relationship between the inside and the outside of the exhibition’s space."
“Sediments of a Space” (2022) was conceptualized by Maggessi/Morusiewicz and produced in collaboration with Stephanie Damianitsch, Lena Heneis, and Justin Jun Wooyoung.
