Hive, untitled 1 + 2

2017 | inkjet print on high gloss paper, collage, mounted on archival cardboard | 220 × 160 cm

Hive 1: sleek university interior with furniture mirrored above. Hive 2: variety of objects such as bar stool and railing in pastel colours.

In her HIVE series, Andrea Grützner takes us screen by screen through a surreal world of real-life spaces. HIVE is based on photos shot throughout RMIT University’s New Academic Street in Melbourne. By dividing the campus into concentrated sections, Grützner creates a visual link to retro computer games that require the player to advance from level to level. Grützner won the 2017 ING Unseen Talent Award jury prize for this work.
