How close we are Mixedmedia Installation, 2009. in collaboration with Sylvain Baumann. Kunsthalle Palazzo. Liestal. Switzerland.
curator: Andrea Domesele.

The installation How Close We Are conquers the space it inhabits and lays siege to human conduct. The brooding sally uses metal grids recovered from an abandoned brewery to which sound and lighting are integrated. Guided by a categorical refusal of all identifiable forms, a bleak space is created where the menacing texture of the air, light, and material obliterates the location’s hospitality, and where the only question visitors can ask of themselves is if they are welcome there at all.
