VENICE: PAVILION |
The Austrian pavilion in Venice, built in 1934 by Josef Hoffmann as a white cube, poses a challenge
to film projections. Dorit Margreiter’s contribution to the Art Biennale 2009, the film installation
“Pavilion”, demanded a space within the space of the pavilion.
It was planned and built as a space that filters out sunlight, while opening itself to the screen
projection – with the walls adapted tightly to the light-cone: creating the same spatial opening for
the light-cone as for the viewers.
