Spaces, Rooms, Halls, 1—360

A series of 360 pseudo-photographs documenting the life and work of some university, school, or laboratory. In some halls concerts are held, somewhere we see training and practice of particle studies, somewhere we see drawing classes. Already familiar to you from other sections of the site — Relative Explanation classes with walls covered with formulas and scientific notation. In some shots, we can notice outdated computers of unrealistically large size. The busy life of the center in the dark, somewhat uncomfortable photos reminds us of a foggy memory space. — A set of 360 cards, 300 gsm², 21×15 cm. 2022
