Moving pictures are projected onto the four windows of the exhibition space. Each of the four channels plays its independent program, assembled from the works of over twenty international artists. The time for each channel to complete its program varies, which leads to ever changing combinations of the artists’ work. The collective of the projections can be understood as a new autonomous work, which contains a multitude of variations. In content the works are related by their sparse movements and reduced narrative elements. By arraying the works in sequence as well as in confrontational positions, the installation develops its own dramaturgy. All works are shown without sound.

»Écran«, 2006 by Amande In.

From the series “Calais, inside” by Henk Wildschut.

»LANDREFORM Carousel«, 2008, by Matthias Einhoff, Philip Horst, Markus Lohmann, Harry Sachs and Daniel Seiple. Eight BMWs drive in a slow perfect circle, “This Land Is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie is playing on their radios – remixed for an amusement ride sensation. The cars, roped together like a carousel, circle like an auto display or western wagon train. Every couple rounds the drivers systematically stopp to pick-up and drop-off spectators and riders. Just before dusk, a fire is lit inside the circle.

»There Are No Perfect Games«, 2008 by Pravdoliub Ivanov.

“Redoubt: the Old Therapeutic Institution”, 2006 by Ashok Sukumaran.

»I Don’t Believe in Past Lives«, 2009, photographic series of dead ends of tunnels inside a mine in Pribyslav. By Pavel Sterec.

The sound installation «Nach innen nach aussen», 2008 by Jason Kahn turns around the customarily accepted notion of the exhibiton space as something sealed off from the outside world.

»Symbology (Volume I)«, 2006 by Trevor Paglen. Military culture is filled with a totemic visual language consisting of symbols and insignia that signify everything from various unit and command affiliations to significant events, and noteworthy programs. A typical uniform will sport patches identifying its wearer’s job, program affiliation, achievements and place within the military hierarchy. These markers of identity and program heraldry begin to create a peculiar symbolic regime when they depict one’s affiliation with what defense-industry insiders call the “black world” – the world of classified programs, projects, and places, whose outlines, even existence, are deeply-held secrets. Nonetheless, the Pentagon’s “black world” is replete with the rich symbolic language that characterizes other, less obscure, military activities. The symbols and insignia shown in the Symbology series provide a glimpse into how contemporary military units answer questions that have historically been the purview of mystery cults, secret societies, religions, and mystics: How does one represent that which, by definition, must not be represented?

“Garden of Eden”, 2007 by Wollle shows eight pedestals, each of which is covered with an airtight Plexiglas box. Via the internet, the latest air pollution levels in the capitals of the G8-countries are obtained. The system reproduces these levels artificially inside these boxes, each of which contains a lettuce that serves an indicator of the quality of the air inside the capsules.

»Don’t Miss A Sec«, 2003-2004, a usable toilet enclosed in a cube of one-way glass where the person inside can see passersby while remaining invisible to them. By Monica Bonvicini.

“The inside of the secret bunker (Chosun daily 2005.5.5)“, 2005 by Che Onejoon.

“Annual Report“, 2007, an overhead-projector made from MDF, with a strong light-bulb inside. By Lello & Arnell.

“A sheet of paper on which I was about to draw, as it slipped from my table and fell to the floor”, 2008 by Ryan Gander. Installation of one hundred 15cm crystal balls, each laser-etched inside with a suspended image of a sheet of paper.

»A Forest«, 2004, a pine tree growing inside a functioning computer. By Juneau Projects.

»Traces«, 2007. The Traces series is a number of 14 photographs that document the numerous traces of cosmic and terrestrial radiation, which ionize the gaseous ethanol steam inside a cloud chamber.

»334 m/s«,2007, is a room installation, which is meant to visualize the speed of sound (c = λ ⋅ ƒ), which is about 334 m/s. Two translucent tubes are filled with propane gas, which is set on fire to cause a chain reaction. A flame is burning from one side to the other, slowly accelerating to the point where it hits the end of the tube. Due to the ratio of the gas-oxygene mix the flame there causes a rapid explosion, which can be heard as a sonic boom. By Carsten Nikolai.
