this building doesn’t exist anymore

2022 / 5 x 105cm x 216cm, dye-sublimation print on polyester

This photo series captures a smartphone shot through a window taken from inside a home.
The sun shines on a weaved curtain that covers the window, creating a reflection on the curtain. The reflection divides the curtain into two distinct parts – a white part and a blue part. The curtain is then flattened and compressed into polyester through the printing process. The resulting cutout curtain in a shape of the smartphone screen becomes a monument the exhibition space.
As a parallel layer to the outside wall it refers to something that no longer exists, with the inside of the exhibition space replacing a home and the view through the monumental window fragments alluding to an unknown outside world.
The title of the work is also a reference to the MFA building of the HFBK where the exhibition took place, and its inauguration during the time. The work plays with the idea of imagination and realization of a home / building as just a memory or an illusion.
