Charlotte Koenen won the O-68 Award 2022

With an installation in the gallery she presents the result of a research into documenting foam masses. These works function as an imprint of a temporary ‘landscape’ – the cross-sections of the ephemeral body of now dried foam. The workshop from which this research was conducted is central. Elements of the working method such as self-designed tools, storage methods and photographic images all become part of the work, as separate artefacts, but also as references to the process. The wooden structure functions here not only as a support for the paper prints, but also as a pavilion in which the idea of ​​”border” between inside and outside is questioned.
