The usual man and machine dominated perception of the army is contrasted with motifs from the barrack’s housekeeping. The photo installation covering the entire wall shows daily living spaces and their standardization in the large scale organization of the barracks. They play with the common dimensions of the known objects and direct the attention towards these unspectacular but nevertheless essential areas.
Permanent installation in the barracks, Liestal. Commission from invited two-stage competition
