ULTRA FAST
EXHIBITION
invisible to the oculist witnesses
COLONEL at gallery Sparwasser-Berlin / until 01/03/2003
"clockwise exhibition " organized by
NIFCA
the gallery as media
The gallery works here at the same speed that the media , to offer an
update statement about what is offer to the viewer as reality
.Dailly, people from the gallery exctract images showing 2
different ethnies , they measure then the culturel distance on the
photo and then estimate the culturel distance in real , there is then a
double estimations .
“the measure of the cultural distance
“ within the newspaper :
How far different ethnic groups are from each others , when they are
represented in the medias ?.
By exctrating photos from the newspapers the ownern of the
gallery measure in centimetres the photographic distance
in centimetres between ethnic groups.
The people from the gallery try also to “estimate what was
the cultural distance “ on location when the photo was taken.
It is an humoristic comment between what the media show us
through photography and the real distance , on location .
2 people far from 5 cm on the newspaper photos may have been 2 meters
far from each others in the reality . It is a question of photographic
angle and perspective .
mesurement were made at the galerie daily by Lise
Nellemann ,Geoff Garrison , Alice Goudsmit from the Sparwasser
HQ

the Exhibition is also featuring "impermeables"
In contrast with my work about medias (the outside of the impermeable
is also a media ) , the visit of the
inside of the impermeable necessit a
visa .It is a private sphere.
