Die Vlermuis Huis (The Bat House) (after the house Die Es designed and built by Gabriël Fagan in Camps Bay, Cape Town)
2006
480 x 250 x 258 cm (dimensions variable)
“In 1966, Gabriël Fagan constructed a minimalist modernist building with a sculpturalrooftop in Camps Bay, Cape Town. In Ângela Ferreira’s sculpture, Fagan’s buildinghas been appropriated and has materialized in a skeleton-like structure, which,upside down, has become part of the roof structure of the exhibition space. The focusin the space is now the sculptural rooftop, elegantly floating a few centimeters abovethe gallery floor, literally underlining, in its wave-like appearance, the structure whichholds and links it to the gallery roof. The sculptural functional roof in South Africaturns into the unused, abstract base of the architecture-evoking sculpture in Lisbon,generating thoughts not only about the intertwined relationship between architectureand sculpture, but also about the mutual involvement of African and Europeanculture, and the centre and the periphery. Die Vlermuis Huis / The Bat House is notabout the crossing of architecture into sculpture, but about the acknowledgement of adependency and an inversion.” (from here -download press pdf)
