Reset by Christine de la Garenne. “The viewers of this 24 hour exhibition describe the room where the exhibition takes place. A dictating machine records what they see. On the computer I wrote the different statements of the spectators. As a video loop these sentences followed each other. They were projected on the opposite wall in the exhibition space, passing from the right edge of the room to the left . By reading the description of the room the visitor develops his own visualisation.

By moving into the exhibition room the visualized image becomes “real” because the described space is equal to the room the people move in. Different statements of all the viewers visiting the exhibition were projected on the wall. The way they are projected is always the same, so the divergations in the flowing text stay subtle. Due to the contrasting way of watching and describing the environment the same place appeared in a different light. While reading the text, the viewer can rebuild the exhibition room without using any reproduced visual picture or compare the descriptions to his own perception.” [via VVork]
