With 'Toy-Kit Architectures' Rainer Prohaska creates temporary sculptures from prefabricated elements, well known from the construction industry, and changes thereby the appearance of landscapes and of existing buildings.
 
He doesn't develop a collection of objects, but a component system, which is extended step by step, and which allows to create different constructions from universally usable basic elements. This system, inspired by toy component systems such as Lego or Matador, uses tension belts as liaison vehicles. The main difference to children’s toy-kits is the dimension of the used elements.
 
Since the development process of the sculptures are very important, the performative act of building plays a crucial role. After their existence the constructions disappear without trace. The individual parts of the sculpture will be used for new works. The only remaining elements are the documentation with photos and sketches.
