Ever since humans settled down, openings such as windows and doors have structured their dwellings: they enable entry and exit, allow views inside and outside – and at the same time are closed to protect intimacy.
In their duo exhibition Fenster Türe Wände (german for “Windows Doors Walls”), Clara Bahlsen and Sophie Aigner approach these questions in the gutted rooms of the former public toilet facility. A place where traces of former use remain visible and where the private and the public overlap. Here, the artists continue their cross-media practice, which combines sculpture and photography.
Fenster Türen Wände examines this dual view: out into the world and into the private sphere. The Kunstbrücke becomes a space that connects both poles.
