Architectural projection, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Project within Luminale 2006 . In a creative misunderstanding and play on the words with the meaning of the term “Musterhaus” – “show house”, “exemplary house” as well as “pattern house”. The scene of the event was a generally unmentioned solitary high-rise building of the 60s in a architecturally historically prominent position: at the pivot of Ernst May’s exemplary housing estate, where the Riedhof once stood.
The patterns, which “Casa Magica” created specifically for this project and adapted to the features of this apartment building, cite symbols of various lifestyles, which can be found concretely in habitations: Stresemann-trousers, Murano-chandelier, tea strainer, grand piano, mountaineering boot.
Regarding the technical realisation two large format projectors type PANI BP 6 GT with carousel slide changers, automatic shutters and 180 mm lenses were used. (Casa Magica)
