greenlight assessment, december 2007, Vettestraat Amsterdam '(Alles) (ist) (...)' circles around the idea of every object having different hyrarchical importance. The installation has been put in a unenterable room with two glass walls. Some of the objects have little precise changes and deliberate alterations, and some are being put in a random, sloppy disorderly way. The installation includes a video with a image of the world spinning rapidly around. Because you look through double glass, you see two worlds half overlapping eachother.
