CLOSENESS by Annja Krautgasser

Annja Krautgasser is an architect and media artist. Her main artistic concern centres around issues of space, time and presence. Krautgasser moves between virtual and real architectures seeking out the potentials of technology to create new ways of thinking about the places we inhabit. Krautgasser’s practice articulates a sophisticated understanding of location and creates a conceptual apparatus’ that stimulates a locative literacy and awareness. Her work forces us to rethink our sense of place, locality and horizon.

In most cases spatial memory is based on personal experiences of presence. Space points and space characteristics are stored in the memory and usually reused for the purpose of orientation. The spatial parameters are often noticed very individually and subjectively. Storing, compressing and mediating spatial characteristics are the main focus of work in this exhibition.
