About three years ago we first talked about Matthias Jung, when we were fascinated by his series of works in which various buildings float in the sky over abandoned environments. Today we are returning to talk about him because, as he has already done, his latest series of works has stolen our hearts.
It is entitled The Flying Hotels and this time it is the small, characteristic hotels that take flight. Coming straight from Matthias’ mind and constructed as always using the collage technique, the buildings resemble aerostats.
This time the focus is on these strange flying architectures that stand out against brightly coloured backgrounds. It is as if Matthias Jung does not want to tell us where the hotels are going, leaving us free to travel wherever we want.
Moreover, as the artist himself says on his website, each hotel is designed for different people. The Rosy Dream Hotel, for example, is a cool establishment for a young crowd, while the Green Pasture Hotel will attract a rather older middle-class clientele. The Orange Cake Bar is a place where (life)artists and free spirits meet. The Blue Noon Hotel, on the other hand, is for travellers who set more value on material comfort.
What is certain is that reserving a room requires only one thing, a lot of imagination. Are you ready to travel?
