Seven Sliding Doors

Seven Sliding Doors

The spaces created by Carsten Höller offer a point of view that departs from the merely spatial and the reality around them. Usually, his spaces need to be activated.

Seven Sliding Doors is a work that camouflages in the exhibition room through the mirrors that cover it. Repeatedly reflected images deliver a different way of looking at the exhibition.

But why would you be satisfied with just looking at the outer side of the installation when you can go in and look at it from the inside? Walk in. The doors will open wide as you walk through. You do not need to touch anything, just look around and try to tell what is real from what is not. Things look different from the inside, as it happens in real life

Only the person who is at the same point at the same time as yourself can perceive the world around you exactly as you do. But this cannot happen. Only you can be here right now.
