In Heat
Architect Jurgen Mayer explores newer boundaries in architectural design and context through this installation that gains immediacy and an uncanny effect by registering touch as a fleeting trace.
Thermo-sensitive surfaces of the installation
The Installation
The In Heat installation transforms mute surfaces into dynamic records revealing latent spatial possibilities. In Heat is a 3-dimensional painting that incorporates the surfaces defining the space, as well as elements such as the seating within it, into a unified visual and tactile field. This union of art, viewer and space is achieved by introducing thermo-sensitive coating onto the surfaces. These react to bodily contact by losing color. The viewer hence, creating a temperature shadow by touching a surface, melts into the overall exhibition design. The installation was largely inspired by the 1947 exhibition 'Blood Flames' by Friedrich Kiesler.
