Currently not used hidingspace

Installation with 35 sleeping bags

The installation Currently not used hidingspace consists of 35 stacked sleeping bags, each of which can also be worn as a warming coat. This hybrid object oscillates between shelter, collective sculpture, and potentially activatable resource. It refers to the sleeping bag as a symbol of mobility, flight, survival – and as a portable boundary between body and environment.

Drawing on the spatial theories of Hannah Arendt and Henri Lefèbvre, the sleeping bag is revealed not only as a functional object but as part of a spatial practice that links individual and societal dimensions. The stack produces a paradoxical image: a “non-place” suspended between use and disuse, between private retreat and collective accumulation. In doing so, it raises questions of protection, belonging, and the political dimensions of space – at once concrete and abstract, material and imaginary.
