In the foyer of the hofburg palace in vienna, michael vasku and andreas klug, together with preciosa, open up an alternate universe with their ‘behind locked doors’ installation. They intend to take visitors to, ‘an abandoned place to show them what happens when man is no longer there and organized structure begins to fall apart.’ within this context, they persuade guests to follow a childish instinct that they believe many of us have already lost: the curiosity to want to look behind every door, to investigate every corner; an emotional experience that occurs entirely without curatorial official guidance. His royal building, which grew over the centuries, stands on strong cultural history foundations. It is so firmly rooted in the consciousness of the inhabitants of the city and country that for many it is probably scarcely conceivable that something new and unfamiliar is still to be found. With the first step through the gate, visitors leave behind the metropolis and become part of a classically-charged backdrop in which shimmering chandeliers are presented within a contemporary design gallery.
