I interfer into the expectations of the visitors of the space. Presenting my documentation about the project ART : HOME -- LESS in form of thousand colored photocopies I make it rather difficult to look at the pictures; as they are placed at the ceiling of the room, people have to use binoculars or go to the second floor balcony in this room. People have to move and to explore the space while moving through the picture columns at the balcony. On one part they are laying on the back to view through the binocular the
pictures, on the other part they to move through the hanging documentation
pictures rows watching the environment with the laying people downstairs;

The second room is a tape drawing based on a projection of the environment in the upstairs room, where the Kunstverein is working and storing their things.It is a drawing and a picture of the specific organization for such a room for the purpose of this Kunstverein.
On the opposite to the colored copies room this drawing is on the floor.
In this up and down using once the ceiling, one the floor for the tape installation I think about the tower situation of the building, where I am working in. It is a tower with 7 floor.
