Futur_01_ juxtaposes experiences of physicality and sensory perception in analog and virtual spaces. The display window, which is permanently visible from the street, gives potential visitors a first glimpse of Futur_01_ even before they enter the Hole Of Fame. A sound carpet from an outdoor loudspeaker also invites visitors to pause. A panorama opens up into an interior space enclosed by plastic sheeting: Sporadically, plants emerge from the floor covered with earth, gravel, crushed stone and plastic sheeting. Fog blurs the contours of the place, and sometimes the glass is fogged up to the ceiling with condensed moisture. A video projection is visible on the back wall: impressions of a scantily clad body on a pile of rubble. Hands and feet feeling the rough textures of the stone; naked extremities whose vividness sharply contrasts them with the frozen surroundings. Perhaps there is also someone to be seen who is currently in the space. The entrance area of the gallery is noticeably narrowed by the walls of the installation. Behind it, a semi-dark transitional space opens up, where visitors can take off their socks and shoes and take a look at the video projection or the virtual exhibition before entering the installation. A spatially limited microcosm invites visitors to explore their own sensory perception away from urban ordinariness. The seemingly boundless expanse of a virtual exhibition space, on the other hand, defies all sensory perception beyond sight and hearing, indeed beyond corporeality altogether. Its depth remains an effect of the surface.
