It all starts in one room.

In the long phase of stagnation and silence of the public space, the view out of the window became a metaphor, a longing gaze from the protected space of one’s own flat to the street. The gaze itself joined a kind of passivity. You could call it observation – observing outwards, inwards into memory.

What imagination envelops an empty space?

Isn’t the memory of a space activated so strongly at the moment of its disappearance that, on the basis of our habitual feeling of a space, we move on to something new…. to an experience that carries us forward?

A bright empty room cannot deliver what it promises.

Could we say that the moment of perception becomes a membrane that transmits, and we feel in a way that we belong to what is happening, that we are part of it, that we become witnesses of a moment, listening to the sounds that reach our ears?

THE ARCHITECTURE OF A LINE

Movement permeates the room. It is the point of departure for everything; it begins, dies away, wavers and overlaps in the interplay of sound, projection and light. The simultaneity of precision and experiment builds up a creative suction, dense and light, sharp and playful at the same time: an atmosphere of fleeting intimacy in the encounters. Lines are whirring between light and shadow and open up ever changing opportunities for fragile approximations to the architecture of the line.
