The physical scale of a container is recreated in the exhibition by the monumental sculpture ISO 668 (2024), which occupies the gallery’s outer exhibition hall. The title refers to a standard container model, reproduced here in a precise 1:1 scale, crafted from carefully joined plywood cut-outs. No longer serving any functional purpose, it has become a haunting and beautiful wooden sculpture, suspended in a sinking limbo through the gallery floor. The sculpture imagines a dystopian scenario where things go awry.
