Abstract

The exhibited work consists of a set of material experiments, investigating aesthetical and performative potentials – the dramaturgy - of lime. The central artefact - a large steel pool (black, d: 80 cm) containing 35 litres of lime water (Ca(OH)2) - is the spatial framework for the set of experiments represented in the exhibited video and photographs. Prior to the opening of the Biennale, the pool has been filled with lime water. Throughout the exhibition period, the artefact will change its appearance - making visible hidden forces and time, through processes of crystallisation, evaporation, and interference with the space and visitors, creating a work which constantly changes its material form.
