Visitors to the exhibition enter a heterogeneous universe of images whose contents become accessible through the web of meanings that are engendered by their interrelationships. The artist continues his investigation of historical and cultural traces that began in Senegal and Morocco. For this exhibition he has subjected the gallery architecture to fundamental modifications. The backdrop for this presentation of new works consists of fluorescing walls and ceilings, which are rendered luminescent by means of UV light. The gallery’s parquet floor has been covered with a layer of screed.
