2020Site-specific installation~80m2, Beton and 16 columnsin underneathin Kunstverein Tiergarten I Galerie Nord, Berlin.
Halokline is a sculptural installation that shows a thin concrete surface floating at chest height between rows of columns. The surface is broken in many places, allowing one to wander in a sort of gallery, head above the surface and body below. Presented in the exhibition underneath, the installation is plunged into darkness, and only emerges in a dim improvised light.The proximity of the columns evokes a basement, and their alignment follows a logic that does not belong to the architecture of the exhibition room, which is on the ground floor. Halokline creates a place within a place, a displaced place.A halocline (oceanographic term) is a type of interface between layers of water that do not mix due to their different characteristics. A halocline is more dense in salt. It is an unstable area for navigation. If you look at it from above, while still deep in the water, you see a water surface and you might think you are in the open air.
