Curated by

As part of the exhibition
Küss die Hand - Vier Wiener Positionen
At the
gallery Oel-Früh in Hamburg in 2012, the installation HH20 allowed the
exhibition facility to enter into
dialog with the outdoor space. This installation made visible how simple
invasions into the presumably rigid
architecture around us can create new spatial dynamics. Rainer Prohaska
utilized a previously closed
opening in the ceiling to connect both floors by
sculpture.
The H girders seemed as though they had been thrust through the ceiling like
toy sticks by an imaginary giant. He appropriated the existing architecture as
a parasite, transforming the standardized white cube for his piece.
On the building front, two implants made of tensioners and H girders contrasted at the same time the
familiar stability and rigidity of the building. One of the structures, an enormous antenna jutting from the
building, seems as if it were trying to explore its own feasibility. An over-sized pendulum held in precarious balance by its own weight alone and balanced on a protruding beam fit in the building entrance.
