In her new video works, choreographer Meg Stuart explores the Vorklinik, a soon-to-be demolished building erected in 1971–76 for the University of Graz’s medical faculty, today considered too dysfunctional for further use. Stuart and her collaborators attempt to mark the removal of the building through a sensorial processing of its vast, empty spaces. Like the modernist project, the attempt to fit their bodies into the architecture of the Vorklinik is slated to fail.
