Real Estate (2009)
The piece is conceived as the scaled-down model of a corporate office building, based on the modernistic typology of a space-frame structure with huge windows. Depending on what is shown on the 6 screens of the facade, their degree of transparency is altered continuously. The rooms are designed and furnished in accordance to a narrative, which involves three fictitious characters, Rosalind Sedlacek, Walter Petterson, and Dick Schuster, who work inside the compound and happen to be involved in a criminal incident. Using physical objects, moving images, light, and sound, the story unfolds step by step within a loop of 10 minutes. Short video sequences show the investigation following the public disclosure of the incident. The slow movement of the light cone is a desperate attempt to re-construct the bigger picture, a journey the visitor is invited to join!
