The exhibition space, which is located within Gare de Renens, becomes a host to an exterior scenery, in which elements found in public spaces are re-located inside. A seemingly forgotten suitcase is standing upright, waiting to be pulled away - continuing the narrative of the performance Renens 2024, which took place just outside the space. The two trash cans each quietly emit slightly out-of-sync recordings of Bach’s Erbarme dich, mein Gott.

A 5-channel video installation reminiscent of display screens found in airports and railway stations, it plays looped footage of an ordinary daytime scene at the train station - people walking by, rushing, chatting with one another and sometimes just lingering about, calmly standing as they wait for something. There are slight delays between each monitor causing slight fractures and disturbances in the flow of the footage.

Advertisement 1 and Advertisement 2 are large-scale prints mounted onto the external facade of the exhibition space. The images pull from the language of advertisements found throughout public spaces. In the work there is no particular product being advertised, rather it expresses a state of being. A fraction of the face featured in Advertisement 1 cracks open when a visitor enters the space, due to it being partially installed on the automated sliding doors.
