C/O Berlin Talents 37

White cube, framed photographs, lighting, image title, wall text - and the classic standard exhibition is done! But how does a presentation take shape when the location itself is the subject of the exhibited photographs? If the room is not only the frame but rather the content and artwork at the same time? Bianca Pedrina conceptualized an exhibition just for C/O Berlin and experimented with the characteristics of the building. She brings out concealed levels, moves hidden elements to the foreground and enlarges building details into over-dimensional installations. In this way, her intervention expands the real space and eloquently blends in with the exhibition hall. Her images are room modules - sometimes in relatively easy-to-miss sizes, sometimes as large, life-size cut-outs of them. She breaks through the guided view of the visitors with this playful doubling and these photographic reflections to enable a perception beyond the surface, a look into the physical matrix of an exhibition space.
