Lift installation, the thousand and one nights

Henni Van Beek

Dimensions
300cm x 390cm x 50cm

A curtain of four thousand keys; a computer-controlled elevator door mechanism; hotel bedroom. The installation draws upon the hotel as a narrative site, all the people, their stories and being in a public space, addresses also the public/private realm.
