Room with two doors (for a public park in Bochum-Weitmar), 1989

Height 3 meters
External dimensions 14 x 6.75 meters
Internal dimensions 13.05 x 6 meters

"The work exists only in a context open to any person

The work is not there. It tends to be there.
This work becomes possible when it is open to any persons who arrive by chance. Its chosen location is next to a parkpath.
Each door signifies that one person could enter. The room is large enough for the presence of two persons who could meet parallel to two bodies of light. The personal history and memory of each visitor and the choice of time for using the room, determine the qualities of the work.
It is prepared for a potential working period of day and night. I hereby propose that the work is open one day a year for twenty-four hours on March 21 and/ or September 21.
The room is determined by chance tonality and chance illumination, that is filtered by trees planted around the facade and opposite the walkway in the park. The entire exterior of the building on all four sides is to be overgrown by ivy, so that there is no image of a wall, but an image and the sound of moving leaves."
