Internal space pavillon, 2016

The model shows a proposal for an outdoor pavilion. By entering the pavilion the viewers should find themselves standing on an illuminated hexagonal grid. The mirrored walls reflect the grid into infinity and let the dark floor vanish to transport the viewer into an almost floating condition. An endless and abstract space is created.

If the visitors move, they are inevitably referred back to their own reflections which shift simultaneously within the expanding grid. As they participate in this physical and sensory encounter, the installation subverts abstract notions of spatiality. Burkart uses the repetitive potential of the grid as orientation point to break open spatial structures and question cognitive perceptions.
