HFBK door sticker"The room number was changed from K25 to K29,the doorman was instructed to change the key number from K25 to K29.", Safety sign 40×30cm“Notausgang freihalten! / Keep emergency exit clear!”, Bus handrail Ø15cm×2.2m, Sanded and polished floor, Faltenbalg / Bus bellows 2.5×2.5×1.8m(Wall breakthrough with inserted bus part)
This space was the studio where I worked for four years and was called k25 before
the exhibition. The studio next to it across the wall was called k25a and according to
a blueprint made in 1911 there was no wall between the two spaces at the time, but
one large studio; k29. With the help of the doorman, the room number in the
computer system was changed from k25 to k29, creating a situation where there was
no space called k25 in the building for the duration of the exhibition.
