Fabian Feichter – Everything Loose

In the breakfast area of the Arthotel Lasserhaus, a kind of chandelier floats in a shaft of light and transports those standing or sitting below it to another world of water and light. The central meeting point in the building is thus emphasised. Whereas in classic chandeliers the candles are directed upwards, in Feichter's design the LED tubes shine or hang downwards and spread their cool light throughout the room. The plastic elements do not refract the light like prisms made of cut glass or, in the past, rock crystal from northern Italy, and yet the pendants are filled with a lively play of light, just like their historical counterparts. Depending on the thickness, they allow more or less light to pass through, colouring it in delicate pastel shades. Feichter's colour scheme uses similar tones to those in the StadtGalerie, which change around his own skin tones. The hangings themselves are reminiscent of fossils. More or less complete remains of fantasy fish, snails and other inexplicable sea creatures allow the viewer to immerse themselves in unknown spheres. The sculptural object Everything Loose zooms directly into the centre of a habitable place and the creatures it houses, which are somewhere between animals and humans.
