The Subject of the Air I,II,III, 2025

Photography: 100 x 80 cm

Intervention: Balloon, helium, dimensions 4 m, Bayerischer Hof Munich, 2025

In his site-specific installation, Ossian Fraser responds to the historical and architectural context of the Bayerischer Hof and subtly disrupts the viewer’s familiar perception. He activates the building and its rooftop terrace with a large, floating balloon that marks the airspace above the hotel and reclaims the sky as a temporary artistic site. 

At the same time, the work references the balloon’s historical functions – from meteorological observation to surveillance – and draws a fine connection to the site’s transformation into a highly protected zone during the Munich Security Conference.
