Taking a depopulated Reception of a gas/air factory as a starting point, REC investigates the potential of reactivating and reframing abandoned meeting points. Considering the visibility of production and process, REC in- vites the viewer into a site of production where points of contact have relocated, underpinning larger questions on systems and structures decreasingly dependent on physical presence.
The work for the windows was founded in experiments with contact and light sensitive materials and processes, with enlarged imprint patterns in unraveling forms. Painted/dyed images on fabrics behind the large glass foyer function as a type of remnant of habitation, pressed against the panes, slippery and shift- ing contingent on time, weather, movement, with the potential to relate to interaction now and before, physically and digitally, close and from a distance.
