Since 2004, Heribert Wolfmayr and Josef Saller have been working together in their jointly established studio heri&salli on architectural, spatial, and temporary concepts. Their work focuses on the juxtaposition of people, space, and materials. In their view, it is only through active human participation that the significance of their design concepts can be verified and brought to life. The same principle applies to their current exhibition “ARCHITECTURE OF SLEEPING”, with which the architects invite visitors to “experience a new space”. At the heart of the installation is a central sleeping area – a bed. Using the medium of straw as an ancient bedding element, it addresses the principle of order and action in the midst of disappearing. The bedroom, as a rather intimate human space, is often used in various ways. Today, the sleeping area is used as a workplace, as a communications center, or laboratory of inspiration. As such, it serves as an ambiguous metaphor for ordered localizations, and as an internal launch ramp to the unconscious, the world of dreams and imagination that offers respite from reality. The bed thus becomes a focus of attention, gaining a new spatial presence in everyday life. The bedroom is allowed to do more – it can be a social statement as well as a place of active engagement. The exhibition will also include a presentation of new projects and spatial interventions that Heribert Wolfmayr and Josef Saller wish to bring into dialogue with visitors. Models, sketches, and sketchbooks surrounding the installation will offer visitors glimpses into the conceptual phase of the projects, including the architects’ sometimes quite personal thoughts. Showcased projects include Office Off, Viennese Guest Rooms, Landscape Fence, House of Hammocks, Pleated Dress, and Exit City. Additionally, Wolfmayr and Saller will present their new book “ZEIT PUNKT RAUM” with works, images, texts, and sketches from the last 15 years. Speakers at the exhibition opening: Dr. H.C. Kristin Feireiss, Aedes - Berlin Professor Günter Zamp Kelp, Architect - Berlin Heribert Wolfmayr and Josef Saller, heri&salli - Vienna More details here.
