ANTI SPACE
room divider
DESCRIPTION
Institutional facades are built to announce legitimacy the moment you look at them: columns, symmetry, an elevated entrance, the full architectural grammar of power. The Anti Space Room Divider is a mobile greenscreen on wheels, brought directly up to that kind of facade. On its own, the greenscreen voids the ideological content of the wall behind it. It also generates pure potential: any image can take the wall's place. The object holds a flat surface that refuses to hold anything, so it can hold anything at all. Parked in front of an institution, it exposes how much of that institution's authority was staged to begin with.
