loosgesloest

A hundred years after the famous essay Ornament and Crime, I was invited to create an installation for the Vienna Museum of History , where the private apartment of Adolf Loos, which he designed in 1903 using his own interior design principles, has been recreated. My installation takes its cue from this odd situation: a former living space finds itself frozen and becomes an exhibited object. Transformed into a giant snowstorm souvenir, this apartment, often ignored by visitors, came to life once more.
