The Series of 19 Photographs shows a selection from the extensive archive of urban architectural observations compiled by Pedrina during her world travels. In her choice of image excerpts, most of which do not reveal a specific location, she focuses on material details, fracture points and unconventional structures. Within seemingly familiar urban environments, she discovers the unexpected, sometimes bizarre elements people create, whether consciously or unconsciously, through structural intervention. Although Pedrina has travelled to a wide variety of cities, her work reveals global connections that illustrate how we shape our living space through our choice of materials and forms.

The continuous cycle of construction and destruction, of usefulness and decay, has always been an integral part of building culture. Twelve national and international artists approach materials such as concrete, stone, wood, metal, and glass – materials that shape and structure our built environment—on a content and formal level. Based on the long-standing and in-depth research of artist and co-curator of the exhibition Andreas Fogarasi, the invited artists were selected on the basis of a shared interest. Through their artistic and research practices, they draw attention to those essential components of our environment that we often take for granted and pay little attention to, but which we often only consciously perceive when they are not functioning, are defective, or even ruined. At the same time, architecture, especially in an urban context, is changing at a rapid pace – as is the case in the immediate vicinity of the MQ Freiraum: a gigantic shell construction on Mariahilfer Straße, which was only recently built, has fallen victim to one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in Austrian history and is being demolished.
