Fragile Homes
Yulia Mashkova, Grisha Mumrikov, 2026

The winning entry for the dm-Award “connecting worlds” 2026 explores the bureaucratic exhaustion of modern society and links this to experiences of flight and refugee routes. The artwork, which is both digital and analog consists of a video mapping on the palace façade and sculptures at the Prinz-Max-Palais created together with citizens in an open workshop—the work connects two meanings of paper: as a raw material of the forest and as a tool of administrative control. The interactive light and sound sculptures are activated as visitors approach.
