Kommerz was yesterday<\/h1>\n

April 30, 2015<\/h2>\n

Claire Waffel’s installation \/performance works with a public site in Budapest unravelling its past, deconstructing its current state and placing it in a current consumer context. Corvin \u00c1ruh\u00e1z, a renowned building on the Blaha Lujza t\u00e9r originally used to be admired for technical innovations and it\u2019s beautiful architecture in the 1920s. Next to desirable consumer products, different cultural events such as art exhibitions added to the attractiveness of the store. 90 years later the building has completely changed its appearance. An annexed facade, now multi-usage it speaks of urban development and decay. Waffel’s performance \/ installationis linked to former projects, where she has worked with architecture and historical memory. Kommerz was yesterday<\/em> is a performance consisting in visuals and audio, fragmenting and stripping away structures and layers. Her subtractions reveal histories, allow for openings, liminal spaces and transform the architecture into an act of communication.<\/p>\n
