Gianna Surangkanjanajai

Press release

Gianna Surangkanjanajai works primarily in sculpture, attending to situations in which form seems to surface from the conditions that surround it. Her works often take up geometric bodies, yet these figures appear less as fixed shapes than as points of departure, as structures that gradually soften, shift, or become porous through material change. Transparent volumes hold substances sensitive to light, temperature, and gravity; their appearance is never singular but unfolds in the rhythm of their surroundings. Sculpture here withdraws from the certainty of objecthood and appears instead as a process, an arrangement that keeps adjusting itself, remaining open to external conditions. At moments when the works operate at thresholds between material und immaterial presence, this openness gives rise to an expanded field of possibility.

This processual quality also informs the exhibition’s title, which follows its temporal course: Upcoming in advance, Open during its run, and Closed after the exhibition has ended. For Haus am Waldsee, Surangkanjanajai is developing a new body of work which unfolds within the rooms of the house, along its angles, passages, and axes of light.
