PRIDE AND GLORY

site-specific installation / wood, parquet, plasterboard, neon tubes, telescopic props, cable, acryl glass / 340 x 340 x 450 cm

The installation consists of two parts arranged physically separated, while creating a mindful symbiosis. The double room situation transforms from a whole – a room where its walls were horizontally cut below the ceiling and above the flooring. Car jacks and telescopic props function as support of a provisional illusion. The narrative of a museum-like room opens: an exhibition space, a shelter, a room for thoughts, a containment and exclusion; attractive and repulsive. The walkable installation is a stage for the observer and a concentration of the construction of its environment. As regards to content “Pride and Glory” refers to the surrounding architecture and both inscribed utilizations. Established in 1884 as a cotton spinning mill, the space is nowadays used for exhibitions.
