Installation view of a large, open gallery space with concrete floors and white walls bathed in natural light from a row of windows on our left. Beneath each of the four windows is a grey radiator, and beneath the radiators, three rows of metal piping running along the length of the wall. Directly in front of us is a white wall on which is hung what looks to be an unframed drawing on paper. The drawing is large, and horizontally oriented. On our right is a row of pillars and more gallery space.

Installation view facing the corner of the gallery with the row of windows on our left and the unframed drawing on our right. The bottom halves of the windows on our left appear to be covered with a semi-opaque light filter or screen. The drawing on our right, which seems to be in graphite on grey or off-white paper, shows a window half covered by a curtain.

Straight-on installation view of the drawing of a window, its left half covered by a curtain. The curtain on the right is drawn back only to reveal a simple darkened, curved slope beyond the window frame. The paper seems to be textured as if it were hand made, its edges slightly irregular. The drawing itself, in graphite or a similar material, has a texture too, as if parts were produced through the process of rubbing.

Installation view of the open gallery space to the right of the unframed drawing. On our left is the row of pillars and on our right is another row of windows with grey radiators beneath them and three rows of metal piping running along the base of the wall. Straight ahead of us is a blank, white wall.

Installation view of the gallery towards the entrance with pillars demarcating bays and the row of windows with radiators and metal piping beyond them. The door at the entrance appears to be at the bottom of a flight of stairs. And there seems to be a small table and chair near the entrance, peeking out from behind a pillar.

Closer view of one set of three windows with radiator and metal piping. The bottom half of each of the windows is covered by a semi-opaque filter or screen. Beyond the windows is a roof with Spanish-style, terra cotta tiles.

A female-presenting person seated cross-legged on the floor of the gallery behind a mixer and two speakers on tall speaker stands. There are some white benches lined up in front of the speakers with people seated on them.

People seated on white benches facing a video projection to the left of a darkened doorway. The projection is positioned beside an installation of two tall lamps in front of a framed artwork. On our left there appears to be a full-length mirror leaned up against the wall.

Video projection showing a still from Chantal Akerman's film Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles beside an installation of two lamps and a framed artwork that appears to be a set of two printed pages or documents. One of the lamps is shorter than the other, but is resting on a cardboard box so that it's the same height as the other. A full-length mirror leans against the wall on our left beside a length of three metal pipes like those running along the base of the wall in other parts of the gallery.

People seated on white benches across from the installation of two lamps, framed artwork, full-length mirror, and section of metal pipes.
