Chairs
Chairs is a floor piece created in a vocational school in Berlin, tracing the fleeting presence of students. Each day, Laufer marked the random positions of chairs left in the lounge area at day’s end. Layered over time, these traces formed a dense network of lines, later transformed into a non-sequential flat image.
What emerges is a quiet record of movement and time — a map of absence and presence, where ordinary daily gestures leave behind their own abstract patterns.
