J. MAYER H.’s work is characterized by transformation, fragmentation, and the concealing and revealing of information. From the beginning of his artistic-architectural practice Jürgen Mayer H., founder of J. MAYER H. Architects, has been collecting data-protection patterns typically used to obscure confidential information, employing them in a modified form in his spatial installations and façade designs. The two-dimensional patterns form a point of departure for his sculptural and spatial concepts, so that the patterns used take on the function of a graphic enclosure. Playfulness plays a significant role both in the way Mayer selects the patterns and the way they are eventually used in his artwork. J. MAYER H. bases his work in the RE.FLECKS exhibition on a camouflage-like data-protection pattern showing a transfiguration into various forms.
The exhibition was made possible by EUROBODEN Berlin GmbH
