Measuring Strategies , 2018
analog photograph
Lambda Print, mounted on 2mm PVC
41.5 x 61.5 cm framed
Edition: 3 + 2 AP
Location: Barracks interior
Technique: The negative was boiled and scratched before exposure.
Concept: The scratch marks operate like measurement lines, but their arrangement is arbitrary and only linear in certain places. The room in its current state displays an emptiness, which is augmented by the missing “furniture.” The room’s measurements document its size: a barracks had dimensions of just 52 × 8 meters and was intended for five hundred people (at times even eight hundred people). This photograph complements the work Looking into the Void.
