For this exhibition at CMP INSPIRATION in Taichung, Christoph Katzler – co-founder of the internationally renowned collective Numen / For Use – presents two immersive installations that respond directly to the striking architectural language of the institution. With a keen sensitivity to site and structure, Katzler engages the building not simply as a container for art, but as an active collaborator in form, rhythm, and meaning.

The pulsating linear patterns found in the entrance area of CMP INSPIRATION served as a key inspiration for Net Taichung. These architectural elements, vibrating with movement and light, are echoed in the spatial gridwork of the Net installation. Suspended in tension, the net becomes a walkable drawing in space—fluid, tactile, and alive.

A second work, String, draws from the repeating parallel lines of the building’s rooftop silhouette. In this piece, tensioned lines stretch across space like a three-dimensional sketch, transforming architectural cues into an immersive, physical experience. Viewers are not merely observers but are drawn into a choreography of movement and perception.

Together, Net Taichung and String extend the visual language of the CMP building into elastic, responsive environments. Christoph Katzler’s approach blurs the boundaries between architecture, sculpture, and scenography—inviting us to move, sense, and think through the logic of material and line.

Katzler emphasizes the importance of physical engagement with the installations. Visitors are invited to enter the works—often crawling or climbing—which breaks down social barriers and creates shared, playful experiences. Regardless of age or background, people respond with childlike joy. This universal reaction reinforces the collective’s desire to create accessible, immersive environments that offer meaningful, joyful encounters beyond conventional boundaries of design and art.
