LARISSA FASSLER - Biographie
Larissa Fassler est canadienne, elle vit et travaille à Berlin.
Née en 1975, Larissa Fassler sort diplômée du Goldsmiths College, Université de Londres en 2003, après
avoir étudié les arts Plastiques aux universités de Montréal et de Vancouver. Elle vit et travaille actuellement à Berlin depuis 2006.
«De ¬l’architecture à l’urbanisme, elle explore le seuil entre l’espace, les volumes réels et la ¬manière
dont ils peuvent être perçus. A travers un travail de repérages topographiques précis et de construction
de maquettes, l’artiste aborde la question de l’homme et de son échelle dans les grands ensembles
architecturaux récents.» (Texte de Jean-François Karst)
La galerie Jérôme Poggi a présenté en 2010 la première exposition en France avec au centre des œuvres
qui sont le fruit d’une résidence de l’artiste à Paris au cours de laquelle elle a développé une recherche
architecturale et sociale autour de plusieurs lieux -emblématiques de la capitale, concentrés autour du
Forum des Halles, de la place de la Concorde ou de la place de l’Europe.
Plusieurs auteurs ont écrits sur son travail dont Anaël Pigeat (artpress 2011), Margaret Ewing ( Artforum 2011), Lukas Freireiss (Art Mag/ Deutschbank 2011), David Jager (art review 2007)…
Elle a bénéficié de plusieurs expositions personnelles au Canada (Calgary- 2007, Montréal – 2005,
Toronto, Vancouver et Ottawa en 2002) mais aussi en Allemagne ( September Gallery, Berlin 2009 –
2011) et en France ( Galerie POGGI, Paris 2011)

This second work based on Les
Halles in Paris explores the complex
derelict knot of rail and Métro interchanges, subterranean retail chain
stores, tunnels, and passageways
that make up Les Halles today. Damaged, fifthly found cardboard is
used to recreate the hallways of the
underground shopping mall; black
gaffer tape clads the deep penetrating escalator holes and 70’s orange
and turquoise blue fills the underground level of the RER rapid train
housed in the bowels of Les Halles.

Kotti is a model representation of the publicly accessible areas of the Zentrum Kreuzberg (ZK) housing estate
and its surroundings. Starting once again with the act of walking I have measured this concrete housing estate
as well as its front plaza and underground access tunnels in order to construct a third model-like structure that
questions the impact of urban planning on communities, and conversely, the impact of communities on planning.

The work Alexanderplatz is a second model-like replica of a pedestrian underground
system. It makes visible the various abstract spaces we don’t see, those that leave
virtually no mark on the city’s surface. Here, space is excavated: the complex carvedout corridors of the pedestrian tunnels become the ‘positive’ of hidden space. The miniaturized scale and reconstruction of this heavily trafficked public space is based on a
subjective measuring system. Using finger lengths and counting footsteps, I walked this
network myself and gauged the internal dimensions and volumes of its platforms, halls,

passageways, stairwells and elevator shafts. Technically inexact, this reconstruction can
be characterized as a layman’s raw understanding of the spaces that contain the quotidian commuter.
