MARKET AREA: 6 GLASSY STANDS

20. June 2023 |

Premature estate by Michaela Rotsch

Market area at the Vienna Naschmarkt
June 17, 2023, 2:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

With six glassy stands, I am bringing my work structures from the last two decades to the area of the Vienna flea market in order to give them an arabesque organization. To do this, I am mixing workpieces as artifacts without provenance into the flea market. They are indications between the individual and the pattern, glassy passages and indicative collections.

The six-part installative action was recorded on media. It will be transformed into a SLIPCASE COLLECTION with 6 books:
