CHAMBER

Die Ausstellung wurde von einem Textauszug aus Philip K. Dicks Roman „A Scanner Darkly“ begleitet, welcher am Schaufenster zur Straße heraus angebracht war. Neben der realen Ausstellung gab es ein gezielt installiertes Überwachungssystem mit vier Kameras, um zusätzlich eine gefilterte Realitätsversion der Ausstellung auf Bildschirm zu zeigen, die im Hinterraum der Galerie und damit ausserhalb des Ausstellungsbereichs zu sehen war. It was midday, in June of 1994. In California, in a tract area of cheap but durable plastic houses, long ago vacated by the straights. Jerry had at an earlier date sprayed metal paint over all the windows, though, to keep out the light; the illumination for the room came from a pole lamp into which he had screwed nothing but spot lamps, which shone day and night, so as to abolish time for him and his friends. He liked that; he liked to get rid of time. By doing that he could concentrate on important things without interruption. Like this: two men kneeling down on the shag rug, finding bug after bug and putting them into jar after jar. — Philip K. Dick „A Scanner Darkly“, 1977
