Parallel to the exhibition Fernsehgeräte the Neues Museum Nürnberg is also presenting "Unschärfe" - Out of Focus - an installation by Nürnberg architect Matthias Loebermann created in cooperation with students from the Institut für Architektur und Städtebau at the Hochschule Biberach.
Whereas fuzziness, blurring and an irritating placing of focus is a tried and tested process in painting or photography - something we demonstrate neigh on daily - in architecture it is a little used phenomenon.
Constructed from industrial steel rods and measuring 18m by 6m, Unschärfe is a walk-in installation that plays with, and allows an exploration of, how we perceive the world around us when we can only partially see it and/or when architecture alters perspective and our field of vision.
And which, almost poetically, completes an architectural triumvirate, juxtapositioned as it is with the fragile modern glass construction of the Neues Museum and the permanency of Nürnberg's medieval city wall
Unschärfe can be entered and viewed on Klarissenplatz Nürnberg until Sunday June 29th.
