Curtain Call

Solo Show at Schau Fenster Berlin

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, it is only possible to visit the exhibition from the outside, but that is only one of the reasons. The other, as the institution’s name suggests, is the shop window. A place of inclusion and exclusion at the same time, visible and yet visibly separated, perhaps that is what makes it so special, being so close to the object of desire and yet so far away.
The works on display are prints on paper that subtly push themselves to the fore, in front of the curtain as if in the spotlight as an encore.
But there is something strange about the scenery. The curtain is only a curtain at first glance, strictly speaking it is a curtain that gives a glimpse of the interior of the room. Funeral houses radiate a comparable coolness, through the signs on the outside we know what is happening inside, but what is happening inside remains hidden from us, this gap is filled by our own imagination.
