2026 SE16 ellinor aurora aasgaard & zayne armstrong:
elevated
wednesday, june 16, 19 h
For their event at the 2026 Project Space Festival, the Berlin-based duo Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard & Zayne Armstrong present a looping sculpture made in collaboration with students from Stadtschule Schlüchtern. A large-scale collage of recycled product packaging forms the scenographic backdrop of a descending elevator. Mounted on a hand-operated scrolling mechanism, it unfolds as an interactive panorama, inviting the audience on a ride into an imagined underworld.
The co-authored large-scale painting /collage /backdrop references Dante’s Divine Comedy. Rather than focusing on the Christian ideology of Dante’s vision, the duo wants to make advertisements for each layer of where we live, the visible built and non-human environment, but also the parts we can’t see, like the various layers of what we think is below and above us, the sky, and the roots of trees, but also what’s beyond that?
This one-time event will lead up to the duo’s upcoming show at die raum, which will open in September 2026. In addition, the show Enveloped by Cecilie Skov, installed in the exhibition space of die raum, is accessible during the event.
