Rem Koolhaas' Prada Transformer Begins Its Next Movement

How quickly these strange few months have passed, right? It seems like only yesterday we were welcoming Rem KoolhaasPrada Transformer into this world, with its Miuccia skirts and its swanky parties. Then there was the Alejandro Inarritu and Elvis Mitchell film festival back in July. Now the temporary, evolving structure is set to make its third transformation into an exhibition hall to display artist Nathalie Djurberg‘s latest installation project. Our good pals at Wallpaper have the goods on this last movement, complete with a handful of photos showing some of the exhibition itself and a look outside, seeing how they move this gigantic structure around. Here’s a bit:

Best-known for her bizarre stop-motion animations, Berlin-based, Swedish born Djurberg will fill the cruciform configuration of the Transformer. Producing a gigantic cave-like installation, Djurberg has plastered the tent-like walls with swathes of undulating white felt, and the floor with densely padded grey layers.

…Projected at full size onto two screens within the transformer, the films come accompanied by a series of sculptures, shown last year at the Fondazione Prada in Milan. Featuring giant caves, a potato and two small whales produced in Djurberg’s signature rudimentary style, the sculptures pay surprising compliment to Prada’s high-styled aesthetic.
