Installation | White cardboard (recyclable material)
Variable size
By Anja Bramkamp & Juliana Herrero

Drawing inspiration from Walter Benjamin’s figure of the Flâneur, Fall UP invites a slow drift into the layered psychogeographies of the interior. The installation proposes an immersive experience: an architecture of folded white cardboard (Pappe) that carves cross-sections through the existing space, turning the act of passage into a perceptual and affective encounter.

Constructed entirely from recyclable materials, Fall UP reimagines the interior as an urban terrain of hidden intensities. Here, the built elements do not merely occupy space —they trace invisible thresholds between inside and outside, public and private, dream and reality. These intersections are expressed through a series of full-scale „cuts“—sectional planes that physically and metaphorically slice through the volume, creating an architectural landscape both diagrammatic and sculptural.

The use of white cardboard allowed the installation to remain lightweight yet spatially commanding. The material’s inherent tactility and fragility reinforced the project’s themes of transience, permeability, and the ephemeral qualities of everyday urban life. As viewers navigated the layered forms, their bodies became part of the drawing —both mapping and being mapped by the folds, shadows, and interstitial spaces. Fall UP becomes less a static object than a stage for movement, observation, and projection. In this way, it mirrors the ambivalent logic of the Flâneur—wandering, encountering, reassembling meaning from fragments. At the threshold between built form and scenographic gesture, it evokes a city within the city: one that rises not through height, but through depth of perception.
