While
searching for structuralist architecture in former Yugoslavia, artist Julia
Gaisbacher encountered the Split 3 housing complex in Split/Croatia, a multifaceted sociological
as well as social field of research, which she made the focus of one of her
artistic projects. The architecture, the infrastructure, the life and the
people on site were her preferred interest. She discovered an analogy to the Terrassenhaussiedlung
in the St. Peter district of Graz, where she grew up.
With her processual way of working, Gaisbacher recorded the status quo of Split 3 and processed it in a photographic way in Mapping Split 3. In doing so, the artist approached the architecture through recurring visits and dealt with the life on site.
