The photographs shown in the exhibition are the result of a deep dive into the maquettes of theatre history, which merge space and dramaturgy and beguile viewers to immerse themselves in the dreamworld of the stage in an almost abstract form. This original series will be accompanied by large-scale wall installations and light sources developed by the artist himself. Foreground and background interact; model and idyll, cultural history and present coalesce into an orchestration of a newly interpreted archive.
