The resilient-self system
Adrian Lohmüller calls his complex installations "psychoarchitecture" in which he makes hidden cycles visible and links architectural aspects to the human psyche and physicality. Within the context of the exhibition, the artist will concentrate on storing water, a resource essential to survival, and will create an autonomous system for showering with rainwater. He will construct a spontaneous, funnel-shaped architectural structure that is attached to the outer curve of the roof. The concave curve of the surface of the roof acts as a reservoir for rainwater. A system of hoses routes this water through storage tanks to a shower system on the exterior façade. Protected from sight only by semi-transparent curtains, visitors can also attend to their personal hygiene. The resilient-self system refers to the principle of the resilience and elasticity of environmental and social systems that themselves absorb serious disruptions and continue to function.
