Thread (aspacewithinaspacewithout), 2017
cleaning rag aka cotton gauze, light bulbs, light sockets, cables, dimmers
dimensions variable
I wipe my everyday environment with a piece of cotton gauze. I take apart the meticulously woven fabric into its single threads. All the threads are then twined into one larger filament. I dance in and with the empty gallery space. The outlines of a volume record the movements. A space within a space. Through dimming, the light bulbs change their volume; they expand, they retract, they pulsate—slowly. Lines of thread show and hide with the pulse of light. Outlines are perforated. The thread continues to move—subtlest variations—almost invisible to the human eye, never still.

extract from exhibition text by Elina Suoyrjö
There’s energy in motion and it’s radiating within a space. Filled with happy objects, the space summons and emits good vibrations that are there to be picked up. Small cues and suggestions to be followed up. Invitations to be rsvp’d to. All of the elements have been invited to the space, and so are you.
