Time to Close
2004
At Home Gallery, Šamorín, Slovakia, 2004
The exhibition project is structured by the space of the gallery (originally a synagogue) and the door of a public transport bus with a time switch, as the gallery entrance. The bus door is an embodiment of everyday routine. It is an object that we encounter ordinarily and that we associate with the possibility of reaching various destinations, but especially getting to work and back.

After entering the gallery/synagogue – with the bus door closing behind us – we have the feeling of being in a spiritual space. Thus the imaginary physical shift from point A to point B changes to a mental shift, and the destination of the “journey” becomes the time of enclosure.
