Transit

"The transit area houses serial works and a lounge. Here, all works are shown that have little to do with the photographs from the arrivals area, but haven't yet made the leap into the abstraction of departures. 
Faceless silhouettes respect the need for anonymity. I could be you; you could be her or him. We could all be everyone else and, incidentally, ourselves. A terrain for actors? 
Transit is the realm of calculated identity loss between arrival and departure slots. We look through a time window: all of this could have been possible. Unfortunately, we are usually too much in a hurry to adapt ourselves to a specific and defining role. Often an assigned role whose lines we could recite in our sleep. Transit is also, or perhaps precisely for this reason, a place for all those without a stampable passport, without a affixable visa, a place of lost origins or homeland, or with fluid identities. A place made for poets. For those for whom poetry replaces real destinations.

Transit is a place for all those who are brimming with empathy, who have a questioning, scrutinizing view of themselves, and who let the uncertain work for them."
