Soft Screens

Soft Screens are woven, three-dimesional, screen-like objects that are floating through the building of BBZ in Zurich designed by Gunz & Künzle architects. Ranging from 6 m x 3 m to smaller objects, there are five Soft Screens placed throughout the building. Attached to the ceiling and sometimes softening the corners, they offer soft references and body relations in space.

I was lucky to win the art & architecture competition held by the art collection of canton of Zurich and the building department of canton of Zurich. The project was inaugurated in autumn 2025 together with a film by Alan Sahin supported by Museum für Gestaltung (Sophie Grossmann) and the art collection of the canton of Zurich (Caroline Morand).
