The spatial work Codes and Characters by Andrea van Reimersdahl cover room corners
and walls and spans an amorphous structure of graphics in the middle of the room.
The viewer is forced to make his way through it to reach the rear exhibition space.
A performance marks the start of the group exhibition Open Pieces in the Benhadj&Djilali Gallery.
An exposed figure and a photographer move through the exhibition over a period of 60 minutes.
The exhibition space and the adjoining outdoor space extend the radius of the textile room installation beyond the gallery space.
Treated textiles are presented to performers and photographers as clothing.
The figure pauses on her way at various stations. The photographer captures these moments as facets of space and time.
Meanwhile, the viewer is in the center of the action.
