Our House, 2012

Commissioned work
On the ten-year anniversary of the Austrian Cultural
Forum in New York in 2012, Rainer Prohaska was invited to design a site-specific installation. The remarkably narrow house with a width
of 7.6 meters and astounding 28 floors designed by the Austrian architect Raimund Abraham served as
a welcoming space for
experimentation to rethink Prohaska’s performance cuisine in vertical terms.
The staircase was transformed into a system of working stations that were
interconnected by tubes like a vertical assembly line.
This modularly fragmented kitchen provided for an interactive installation on opening night. Using detailed recipe instructions, the audience of the Austrian Cultural Forum were challenged to prepare a simple meal together. The ingredients used found their way through the tubes to the next station and, finally, into the pot.
