Hubertus von Hohenlohe Mexico City, Mexico, b. 1959

Literature

Dating from 1907, in 2007, the City of Vienna decided to renovate its cube clocks. The company lichterloh purchased all dismantled original cube clocks from the MA 33 in 2008, partially restored them, and commissioned twelve Austrian artists (including Brigitte Kowanz, Gelitin, Judith Fegerl) to develop a project. This resulted in an exhibition in the Anker Expedithalle in 1100 Vienna on the occasion of the company lichterloh’s 20th anniversary.

In 2022, Hubertus von Hohenlohe was comissioned to intervene one of these clocks, resulting on a very interesting contrast between clasic rational architecture and the vibrant and colourful fotographs of the artist.
