Based on administrative processes, this performative installation offers the participants the opportunity to be confronted with the limits of their own "conformism". ‘Gaps’ allows the people that experience it the opportunity to emancipate themselves from the inevitable reification that comes out of systematic filling.
Both through interpersonal exchanges and indirect interactions, participants will have to challenge the social constructs they abide by, to break free off this Kafkaesque game-like experience. How is society’s organization there to facilitate their lives? Can they perpetuate those bureaucratic processes themselves? Relying on forms, isoloirs and waiting rooms, ‘Gaps’ will make you wander within an institutional cosmos to question our perceptions, positions, and perspectives regarding the administrative game, one we all must go through without always knowing its precise rules or purpose.
The A.L.C. collective, founded in 2022, regroups three artists: Anna Zimante, Charlotte Kremberg and L. Meïko Touraille, respectively based in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. They were brought together during their exchange semester at KABK, in The Hague, and started working with the absurdity of social structures and human behaviors, trying to find their way around it from within. "We discuss, we agree and disagree, and we throw it away as an art piece, otherwise we would go crazy in this world!”
