Habitat, EP7 Paris 2019

The façade of the Paris cultural restaurant EP7 forms the presentation surface for an animated architectural collage. Staggered exterior views of buildings rotate. The game of deception of lines of sight, angles and geometries has an irritating effect. The spatial depths lure the eye into the supposed interior of the body behind the skin of the façade, which is at the same time the mirror of an urban architecture of restlessness.
Movie Picture

Self 2015

"The video animation Self reflects the human skin as the border between ‘oneself’ and the ‘world’. In analogy to the representation function of architecture, Self contemplates the human skin through its potential to design one’s own representation. Yet, once the human body is understood as an architectural envelope, its picture can be expanded arbitrarily and freely modulated. Methodologically, this allows Self to scrutinise the interplay of function and representation in different ways. Self-perception and the others’ awareness of oneself are thereby examined against backdrop of identity, gender and perfection." - Claudia Larcher
Movie Picture

Everytown 2006

"The work Everytown deals with futuristic models from science, literature and film at the beginning of the 20th century. The focus lies on the social structures and their respective dramatisation, especially by means of new models of architecture. How do the futuristic prophecies that were made about the future back then correlate with today's present? By analysis of movies, drawings and sketches, Larcher tried to transfer certain characteristics, like architecture, political systems, public transport and energy generation into the present." - Claudia Larcher
