Hans Gremmen on A wallpaper of a door on another door @ FOAM Spotlight

“The structures of the walls, the wallpaper, the wood and the pavement stumble perfectly over one another. The image has the power of a snapshot, but simultaneously of a very balanced image, because of its perfect composition. It is an image about time, and about preserving a past and how difficult that can be. The wallpaper has been pasted with the best intentions, yet because of usage of the door it starts to peel off. Thanks to this evolution, a new unregistered reality originates, which is more layered than the ‘original’ image of the door. The spontaneous stacking of layers invites reflection about past, future, and everything in between: this new reality lets us dream. It appears that this situation is temporary and that the ‘original’ door will just be hung back. Perhaps a valuable fringe will be smoothed over, but it is a matter of time before the unpredictable takes over again.”
