A single pane
Window intervention
2025-ongoing
Copenhagen
A single pane is a micro-gallery in a windowpane, showing one work, usually - for one day. It resists the infinite scroll and archive of online platforms; instead, it has a minimalist online presence and documentation and relies instead to chase encounters on a quiet street in Copenhagen. Each presentation is brief, direct, and temporal. It marks time through attention, rather than accumulation. When experienced every day - say for neighbours - it is a kind of record, a subjective calendar where each day has a new image. For the online viewer, it is a mysterious space: the address is not present anywhere, and the only way to see it is either to have someone bring you there, or (more likely) to chance upon it.
The window frame is situated between inner and outer sphere, between intimate and public. The passerby needs to also dare to come close and look at the window, approach the boundary of a stranger’s home.
It reclaims the idea of perception as a form of presence, where both work and viewer need a certain kind of luck to meet, and a certain vulnerability.
