The installation deals with the conditions of the space and different aspects and modes of presentation. The concept deals with the given conditions and proportions of the walls creating a site specific work on one hand, including non-site specific aluminium panels as a constant standard element on the other hand. The panels are positioned as floating objects in front of the green painted fields. Each part consists of three similar elements (green field, black tape, silver panel) placed on each of the three walls.
The installation creates a spatial entity with constant and shifted parts derived from the given situation.The silver panels contrast the green colour of the painted wall parts, the black tape separates the green fields from the white walls, creating a strong visual interaction with the silver panels. The installation combines aspects of site specific intervention with painting and object simultaneously. Parts of the means of object, painting, colour, surface, support, and other aspects are shifted, they offer a new way of perceiving art, light and space today.
