  280x207x30 | 2014

The work was created as a site - specific project. It works with a single non-original architectural feature in the gallery space – a wall of dimensions 280x207x30 cm. The wall was produced specifically for the purpose to install works at the gallery space. After the end of the exhibition the wall became a permanent feature with a newly acquired function. Based on the physical parameters of the wall (height, width and length) I was able to convert this object into different scales. I created 6 models of the gallery in 6 different scales in relation to the real space. For 6 prepared models of the gallery space I then created six miniature objects of the wall, their size was scaled down in relation to the real wall existing in the gallery. I was interested in the ratio of the newly created object in relation to the model and the model´s relation the real space. The scale and size of the wall was decisive for the final use of materials (metals), from which it was produced. The smallest wall, in relation to the original wall, was made from the most expensive material - gold. The reduction of the value of the material was proportional to the expanding size of the object - "the wall". The gallery became a space for displaying itself in different situations. Just the tautological models of the gallery became the space for displaying "the wall" and as the exhibited object as well.
