Equivocal
Site: Berlin
Project Status: Built
Main Use: Exhibition
Size: 30 m²

Lines in space that widen, overlap, merge into volumes, open up clearings in between. The exhibition "Equivocal" at Architektur Galerie Berlin shows a spatial installation whose elements seem to come together randomly in different constellations, but is essentially formed from the repetition of a single strong geometry. In its interaction of abstract and phenomenological aspects, the installation plays with our associative memories.

The characteristics of the building with its clear order and large stage-like window openings onto Karl-Marx-Allee shape the otherwise neutral white cube of the exhibition space which can be perceived at a glance. The installation adds a permeable complexity to the space. It consists of ten equal volumes arranged and rotated to each other, thus "folding" the space fluidly into areas. It visualizes the principle that complex spatial experiences can be generated with only simple means and clear structures. The equivocal becomes a conscious moment of the design.

The volumes consist of paper ribbons which form a triangular plan on the floor and a larger one on the ceiling. They are stretched at small intervals between floor and ceiling. Originally a packaging material for wrapping chair legs for example, the materiality of the crepe ribbons oscillates between wooden structure and wafer-thin paper. Depending on the view point, the ribbons form seemingly closed surfaces or are barely perceptible and thus show the volumes as objects or dematerialize them.
