Temps d'Images

Temps d'Images is competition between visual and performing artists. year by year the TRAFÓ is the hungarian partner of the french initiative.

in the year 2008 with my two friend of mine we got the chance to make a short performance. We decided to visualize a slow process of the agonies.

We choose the own writings of the actor who made a recordings in a studio. At the same time we made video recordings in different extreme situation of the actor.

During the performance we installed for big TFT surface in the theatre and four speakers. We mixed the sound and the video in real time during the performance.

In the middle of the stage we installed a mosquito net with a cotton candy maker machine and a projector above. As we projected the video on the surface the candy started to melt and added a grotesque feeling of these agonies.

Thanks to TRAFÓ!

Detail Design of the New University Campus Building

competition 2004, first prize design 2005-2006, year of completion: 2006-... client: State of Saxony represented by the State Ministry of Finance, represented by Staatsbetrieb Schsisches Immobilien- und Baumanagement Niederlassung Leipzig II gross floor area: 25.000 m2
architect: Erick van Egeraat associated architects (EEA) 

The design for the University Campus in Leipzig-Germany involves the upgrading of the existing University building through the creation of a foyer, an auditorium and a church/auditorium which can be used for academic lectures, religious services, concerts and exhibitions.

The original church, established in the middle age, was abruptly demolished in the 1960’s. The new design had to consider the historical surrounding buildings, the historical origin of the church, its current cultural meaning, and the memory of the city.

The newly formulated facade of the university on the Augustus Platz and the integration of the Campus in the City structure are the main contents of the presented competition. The façade combines vertical composition and the accent to the icon of the old church.

The University-Campus is integrated in the city, using its typical motives: passages and light-courts. With the generous space for the foyer, a semi-open room is created, which serves the university and the surroundings as a place of memory and a link to University life. Respecting the current and relating to the historical happenings the new proposed concept will create a new definition to the area. The homogenous appearance of Augustus Platz will be restored.

The roof of the new building is the climax of the composition. Formally it refers to the demolished university church. The proposal, with its respectful and expressive language, fulfils the demands of not only offering a reference point to the past but also to set a symbol for the future.
