in the interim rooms of the Galerie Weißen Elefant, Berlin.
As a contribution to the group exhibition “Untersicht”

The place:
Basement of a former school building in Berlin-Mitte.
In the selected room, the floor ends 60 cm before the wall and a 1.20 m deep gap opens up. Three round arches open up in the wall at the bottom of the gap. They lead to a tunnel underneath the building.
I plastered this wall with the three passages up to the height of the room floor, put light behind each opening and installed mirrors on the areas that were not visible.
installed mirrors on the sides of the gap that are not visible, so that the lamp light is diffused.
