9th Floor Chapel
As
a part of the Viennese art fair Parallel 2017 the „9th Floor
Chapel“ was built as a tribute and memorial to Milan‘s brother
Aleksandar Mijalkovic. The Chapel was built out of chipboard and
square timber. Everything was carried by hand, and without using the
elevator. The Chapel was built into the existing space and thereby it
distorted and covered the surrounding former student home.
The
entrance was low so that the visitors had to bow their heads in
reverence. Inside the chapel on the left side, a bench for two
persons was facing the only light source - a white message on a black
sign.
At the end of the fair, the chapel was demolished together
with the ten-floor building.
