TROPHIES - QM&A On Stage
The Viennese artist collective Question Me & Answer asked me to design and make a set of trophies for their On Stage event that introduces underrepresented musicians offering them various prizes in help of furthering their career.
The second QM&A On Stage was hosted on September 9th 2021 as part of WAVES VIENNA festival.
The trophies consist of four individually cut and bent aluminium sheets which are supported by upcycled pieces of pine beams.
The trophy, turned upside down can be seen and displayed as a sculptural memorial but the main and symbolic function of it is being a shelf. A small supported surface that creates space for important objects and memories - a growing plant, first copy of a debut album or another award.
Doing so it also evokes a sensation of home, reflecting on the initiative and grounding approach that watermarks the QM&A - On Stage event series.
