Collapse

Claudia Larcher is a visual artist who focuses on video animation, photo-montage, collage and installation. Her work stands out polymorphous and complex practice, which confronts without hesitation several areas of art history. The artist proposes an artistic work in direct link with architecture, through a search for places linked to history linked to history, familiarity and memory, questioning the meaning of the meaning of "home" and "identity". Using assembly, collage or sampling, Claudia Larcher makes it impossible to distinguis the original from the copy, the model from the replica, reality from imagination.

At first sight, there may be nothing to see of the collapse of the title of the solo show presented here.
"The title of the solo show presented here is 'collapse'. Nothing that collapses, no destruction. However, whether it is a video, a framed montage or an installation video, a framed montage or a wall installation, Claudia Larcher's compositions have the concrete but very unreal quality of dreams.These works do not represent the collapse of particular buildings, but rather the collapse of the buildings, but represent the collapse of modernist architectural paradigms.
