The installation for rent shows a moment in time. It relates to the disturbance of a coherent and ordered spatial structure, presented in the form of a walk-in pictorial space. At the start of the work, the building fabric of the vacant offices was expressly adopted and expanded. The rooms serve as material carriers of the picturesque intervention. Insulation material bulges out of the cracked walls and connects up with sprayed paint to form a layered pictorial space. Due to the flickering permeability of the reinforced grid, applying paint creates visual bewilderment, reminiscent of digital image disorders. The subtle colour sweeps and powerful interventions form a temporary state of uncertainty. Is the room falling apart or is it stacking up into something new?

The frozen movement remains as a still image of a destructive action. The circumstance becomes the starting point, the intermediate state the temporary ending.
