Michail Pirgelis develops sculptural forms from fragments of discarded aircraft, condensing technical history, human experience and aesthetic present. Through precise interventions, he strips the material of its function and opens up new realities. An impressive, site-specific installation with new works is being created for Dornbirn 2026.

Ursula Palla focuses on the fragile relationship between humans and the environment. In her multimedia works – including video, photography, sound, sculptural objects and performative elements – she explores ecological dependencies, shifts in perception and the traces of human activity. Using poetic, often ephemeral materials, she creates spaces for reflection in which the fragile balance between nature, culture and reality becomes visible.
