Unland is a kind of recoded giant piece of origami approaches the themes of reality and geography in an abstract manner: a paper sculpture hung from thin nylon strings, becomes a projection sphere, a reservoir of associations, recalling, possibly, a cloud, or an iceberg, an island or artificial organism. The work is both map and model - both of them forms of abstractions from reality and at the same time an attempt at translating it into a system. Gansterer has invented a mirror world as an existential experimental arrangement, where strings emanating from reality are stitched up into poetical patterns: Unland is an heterotopical nowhere location evoking social networks which it metaphorically projects into fragments of texts and particles of sound. A thought-up construct between ego-graphics and geography.
