transparadiso’s work on the grounds of the former psychiatric hospital reminds visitors of the vital role that social interaction and inclusion in the community play for patients’ recovery.
The ensemble of objects titled “Paviliola” quotes a historic garden pavilion from the Otto-Wagner-Areal, which was built in the early twentieth century. transparadiso deconstructed the original pavilion and reassembled the elements on altered scales. With individual arches, a platform suitable for diverse uses, and seat shells arranged like petals, they explore the idea of care as a common good accessible to everyone and create a place that invites people to linger. The seat shells were 3D-printed using a biodegradable PLA synthetic.

PAVILIOLA is a project for Public Art Vienna. It was generously supported by PREFA in the frame of an artists residency (curated by Cajetan Gril), and by Biocraftlab.

Thanks to Cajetan Gril, Dr. Cornelius Grupp and the team of PREFA, and to Nico Teuschler, Stefan Lozar and Franz Schumach.
