Untitled (On the Ideology of Public Things 1) focuses on dirt as a public thing as it is literally collected from various surfaces of the gallery and around the city of Geneva using small square pieces of clear contact paper that are then placed upon the windowed facade of Galerie Analix Forever. These squares record both the contents of the dirt and the level of dirtiness as they gradually obscure the view. For the entirety of the exhibition, squares of contact paper will be made available for gallery visitors to collect dirt and continue to fill in the gallery window. In a subtle contrast to the collection of dirt, Untitled (On the Ideology of Public Things 2) represents abstract movements of water from around Geneva via digital projections onto the interior architecture of the gallery. These projects actively sustain a tension between things that are both publicly known and privately experienced.
