The exhibition "NOLLI LOOP 12m2 normal-looking flat on sale hides incredible secret in basement" addresses the manufactured material of everyday experience. Representing ruins of neoliberal architectures and mediatic fluxes of images, the exhibition tests these layers departing from its position in the city.
Susanne Hefti shows architectural models from the Aussersihl neighborhood (around Langstrasse) where comparisons of utilization rates, individual properties, and common areas help understanding political and economic interests behind urban planning.
Vincent Graf presents an animation made up of drawings from newspaper images. Drawn one after another on the same paper sheet, in this process, the paper is used as an optic device where erasure is as important as addition.
