reveal the absence – the un-built by g. mazars

the proposal to establish a monument echoing the various works of el lissitzky reveals a the notion of space and depth within three-dimensional structures. the system highlights emptiness, depth, projections – disclosing its physical absence. the project consists of a 3D orthogonal grid conforming to the size of wolkenbrugel. by subtracting, in the manner of molding, a reconstruction of the spatial presence manifests as an imaginary structure -which remains invisible but perceptible. from this imprint, the imagination of the visitor completes the virtual projection of the monument. at night, a light network reveals the virtual contours of the form -where bright spots distributed throughout the structure act as dynamic support for interventions of invited artists.
