Architecture 

Jury report

The installation “Anthropomorphe Form” appropriates the whole hall as its space and support, thus becoming a work of architecture in the true sense. A sheet of cloth suspended from the hall’s framework initially evokes some kind of temporary festival structure, but undercuts this impression with its changing form. Its silhouette morphs from symmetrical to contorted, crumpled to stretched out, adapting with imperceptible speed to the ambient conditions. As it soaks up and responds to the atmosphere, this fabric ceiling attests to the unexpected influence of the human body or the environment on architecture which, for all its traditional immobility, shifts and adapts in what is perhaps a subtle commentary on our Anthropocene era.
