The "Elisabeth Otter-Knoll Building", completed in 1912, housed a senior home, for elderly
upper-class ladies without financial means. Most significant "hidden" space in this building is the
attic above the former dining room, where the installation is located. For this
occasion, photographs of different spaces in the building are installed in this attic and then
photographed again. The resulting photographs show parts of the attic with (what seems to be)
passages to other parts of the blocking the view to the other photographs in the installation.
Exploring this building, means seeking traces of the past and present. Between 1986 and 1995
I had a studio in the basement of the building. This makes my personal past become part of the
building's history. Traces of this are situated on the backside of the panels.

This project hs been realized with the generous support of the AFK
