Multiple Singularities

A set of works deals with the graduality of the term “public,” particularly in relation to the general participation of actors in a space. The exhibition room is a segment of public space in whose specified area interventions from the outside are negotiated.

The archive material is processed and directly put on view as a pattern structure based on an analog typology image analysis. The latter encompasses various species of plants from the Viennese streets collected and replanted in the unused space between the floor and the wall as an answer to the architectural decision. The work is realized with professional support from Alma Bektaš.
