In the exhibition LIQUID SKY, twenty-four cars are overturned and
meticulously parked, one next to the other.
Walking on the new floor,
formed by the chassis, or through the upside-down interiors of the cars,
we feel as though the world has been turned on its head. Alone in the next
room, lit like twilight; a sleepwalker seems to be lost.
The deafening
buzz of a helicopter tears through the space every 15 minutes.
How far can we stretch reality until it breaks? How many layers can we
add on to reality before it collapses?
These questions are at the heart of LIQUID SKY, a group exhibition and the
first installment in a series of projects organized by Marc-Olivier Wahler
about the elasticity of the real.
The second exhibition in the series will be held at the Swiss
Institute-Contemporary art in New York:
EXTRA, opening March 5, 2003.
