View of the front of a cream white house with five arches in a row around four windows and a door in the arch second from the right. It is a one-floor house with a bonnet roof covered in grey tiles. To the right we can see a low chimney and in the center of the roof a narrow triangular window. Between the arches are four round pillars, and the lower part of the facade is covered in light grey rectangular stones up to the windows. The four windows are rectangular and divided into six square sections by emerald green frames. The door is painted in the same green. Above the door and above the window in the arch to the very right, semicircular windows make up the arches. They are divided into sliced sections outlined in the same green framing. In front of the arch to the right stands a wooden bench. In front of the house, taking up about half of the picture, is an open cobble-stoned space. To the left and right of the house leading up to the facade runs a low wall with a ornamental black metal fence. On the left side, there is gate in the wall made from black ornamental metal, which is open. It leads to a garden or green area with trees, and a light grey tower is visible in the distance. Behind the fence on the left hand of the house, we can see a white three-storage neighboring building, a tree and street signs. The sky above the house is blue with white clouds.

Close-up view of the door and two windows of the cream white building in the previous image. In the center of the picture we can see a green door with the handle to the left. Next to it a grey sign with a black arrow pointing to the right has been mounted on the facade. Above the door we can see a semicircular window taking up the arch, which is divided into geometrical sections in green frames emanating from the center. In the window glass, we can see the blue sky and white clouds reflected. In front of the door is a mental door grille, and on the cobble stone we can see some white lines. To the right of the door, in the next arch, we can see an identical semicircular window that reflects bits of the sky and shows some of the interior of the building. Below it, there is a rectangular window divided into six square window panes in green frames through which we can glimpse interior walls of the building and an open window. In front of the window, up against the wall, stands a wooden bench. In the arch left of the door, we can see an identical rectangular window that reflects a black metal fence. Between the arches are round, semicircular pillars.

Close-up of the previous image. In the center, we can see a green door with the handle to the left. Next to it a grey sign with a black arrow pointing to the right has been mounted on the facade. Above the door we can see a semicircular window taking up the arch, which is divided into triangular and square window panes in green frames emanating from the center. In the window glass, we can see the blue sky and white clouds reflected. In front of the door is a mental door grille, and on the cobble stone we can see white lines.

Close-up of the previous image. A cream colored plaster facade takes up two thirds of the picture from the left. To the right, we see a part of a green door with a metal door handle and key hole. On the wall we can see four sign mounts making up a square. The sign is absent. Below it, in the lower part of the picture, the facade is covered in light stones.

Close-up of the grey, square sign on cream plaster facade in previous images. In the center of the sign, a black arrow points to the right. Below it, there is writing in braille. To the left of the sign, we can see parts of a green door. Below the sign, in the lower part of the picture, the facade is covered in light stones.

View of the cream white building with arches and tiled bonnet roof in previous images but from an angle. We can see the green door, and to its right, the window with the wooden bench. To the right in the picture, we can see parts of a taller white building and a staircase in stone leading up to its entrance to the right, out of frame. On top of the staircase stands a plant, and on the cobble stone below, lies a large rounded stone to the left. On the tall white building, we can see two rectangular windows in green frames, one on the ground floor and the other above it on the first floor. Between the two houses run a low white wall in stone with a black metal fence in ornamental style. In its middle, we can see an open gate leading into a garden with green grass and trees with white flowers. In the distance, behind the foliage, we can see parts or a large building light grey with a tower. Behind the lower building to the left, we can see the tops of two trees. The sky is blue with white clouds.

Close-up of the black metal gate in previous image. Between two white houses run a low white stone wall with a black metal fence in ornamental style. In its middle, we can see a gate opened towards us, leading into a garden with green grass and trees with purple and white flowers. In the distance, behind the foliage, we can see parts or a large building light grey with a tower. Next to the gate on the cobble stone, a smooth dome-shaped stone lies on the ground. The gate is held open by a smaller light stone, roughly cut in a cubic shape.

Close-up of the black metal gate in previous image. We can see parts of the white low stone wall coming into the picture frame from the left. The black gate stands opened to the left, is occupying the center of the image, and disappears out of the upper frame. It consists mostly of vertical bars, crossed by three horizontals. At the bottom, a pattern of three star-shaped ornaments can be seen. Behind the gate, we can see parts of the fence that stands on top of the low, white stone wall. It also seems to be made up of mostly vertical bars. At the bottom of the fence, we can see a pattern of crosses. Next to the open gate, on the cobble-stone ground, we can see a smooth, casted dome-shaped man-made stone, possibly casted in concrete. Next to it, as a door-stopper, we can see a smaller natural stone, roughly cut in a cubic shape. Weeds have broken through the cobble-stone. A pathways made out of large paving stones is running through the gate and into the garden behind, disappearing behind the white wall to the left. In the garden, we can see green grass and tree stems in the distance. Directly behind the fence, a green tree with pink flowers blooms. It is sunny. The stone is reflecting the sun, and the gate casts sharp shadows.

Close-up of the stones and gate in previous image. In the upper part of the picture we can see a white stone wall, crossing the picture plane diagonally. In front of it, we can see cobble-stone clad ground. Weeds break through the cobble-stone and a metal water drain is visible. To our right, we can see the lower left corner of a black metal door, entering the picture frame diagonally from the right. It consists mostly in vertical beams with a few horizontals. At the bottom, we can see parts of a star-shaped ornamental pattern. The door is held open by a light natural stone, possibly quartz, roughly cut in a cubic shape. Just behind it, we can see a larger dome-shaped stone made from casted concrete. It seems to be functioning as a door stopper, and the gate sits wedged between the two stones.

The same ornamental fence and gate alongside cream colored house as in previous images, but photographed from within the garden. In the left half of the image, we can see the low, white stone wall with the black metal fence and gate entering the frame at the left corner, extending diagonally in the picture to the middle where it meets the left corner of the cream colored building. The fence and gate consists mostly in vertical beams, with some running horizontally. At the bottom of the fence, we can see a zig-zag pattern and at the top, a pattern of circles with crosses inside, and the top of the fence is made out from spear-shaped pinnacles. The gate has a similar design but ends in a vertical beam. At its bottom we can see a pattern of star-shaped ornaments. From the gate, a stone-paved path emanates, that turns sharply to the left and leads up to a doorway in the right wall of the cream colored building. To the left of the door, we can see a tree with green leaves and purple-pink flowers in bloom. To the right of the door, on the wall, we can see a light grey square sign with the text "Remise." In front of it, on the ground, what appears as a tree stump stands. Above the door we can see an arched window with green frames.

The same ornamental fence and gate alongside creme colored house as in previous images, but photographed from a different angle. In the left half of the image, we can see the low, white stone wall with the black metal fence and gate entering the frame from the lower left, extending diagonally in the picture to the middle where it meets the cream colored building. The fence and gate consists mostly in vertical beams, with some running horizontally. At the bottom of the fence, we can see a zig-zag pattern and at the top, a pattern of circles with crosses inside, and the top of the fence is made out from spear-shaped pinnacles. The gate has a similar design but ends in a vertical beam. At its bottom we can see a pattern of star-shaped ornaments. From the gate, a stone-paved path turns sharply to the left and leads up to a doorway in the cream colored house. The door of the house is open. We can see a grey floor and what appears as sculptures made from burning logs. To the left of the door, we can see a tree with green leaves and purple-pink flowers in bloom. To the right of the door, on the wall, we can see a light grey square sign with the text "Remise." In front of it, on the ground, stands a tree stump. Above the door we can see an arched window with green frames.

Close-up view of the lower part of the green door in previous images, swung open into a room with grey floor and white walls. The door takes up about two thirds of the picture. Its vertical edge crosses the picture from the top to about two thirds down, while its horizontal edge near the floor disappears out of the picture frame, diagonally to the right. The door is made from wood and has been painted in an emerald green. The paint is chipping, and near the floor we can see the wood exposed. In the background, we can see parts of a white wall and base moulding. The floor is grey, and as the light seems to be coming from the door opening to the right out of frame. The door is casting shadows to its left. On the vertical edge of the door we can see a white stripe, suggesting the inside of the door might be painted in white. The door is held open by a small wooden wedge painted in a similar green.

Installation view of a room with white walls and ceiling and a grey floor. The two walls form a corner at the center of the picture. The left wall is empty whereas the right one has a window at its center with a heater below. In the window stands a transparent glass vase with water and a bouquet of branches with green leaves and purple flowers cut from the tree in the garden outside. The window is rectangular and made up from six square window panes. Its frame is painted white. The bouquet takes up about half of its height and entire width. Through the window we can see green foliage. On the floor in front of the left wall sit two identical small black boxes plugged into electrical sockets on the wall to their left. On their top, identical configurations of logs appear burning in flames. Through small slits in the boxes, wires and electrical components are visible. In the white ceiling directly above, we can see a warm light reflected.

Close-up of the bouquet in previous image. In the center of the images we can see a rectangular window made up from six square window panes, cropped just at the upper panes. Through the window we can see green foliage. To the left and right of the window, we can see white walls. Directly below the window we can see the upper part of a radiator. Its frame and ledge is painted white. On the ledge stands a bouquet of branches with green leaves and purple flowers cut from the tree in the garden outside. The bouquet has the shape of a V, and it appears to be cut from a lilac tree. The flowers are mostly visible at the edges of the bouquet, and at its center there are mostly green leaves. Through the glass vase we can see the brown stems.

Installation view of the same room as in previous two images with grey floor, three white walls, white ceiling, window and green door. We are facing a wall with the window. Directly to our left is an empty wall, and to out right, a wall with a green door swung open. On the floor in front of the left wall sit two identical small black boxes plugged into electrical sockets on the wall to their left. On their top, identical configurations of logs appear burning in flames. Through small slits in the boxes, wires and electrical components are visible. In the white ceiling directly above, we can see a warm light reflected. The window on the center wall is rectangular and made up from six square window panes. Its frame and ledge is painted white. Directly beneath it, we can see a white radiator. On the window ledge stands a transparent glass vase with water and a bouquet of branches with green leaves and purple flowers cut from the tree in the garden outside. Through the window we can see green foliage. The green door to the right in the image stands wide open. It is made from wood and has been painted in an emerald green. The paint is chipping, and near the floor we can see the wood exposed. In the upper half, it has a rectangular window in the same design as the window in the center wall, made up from six square window panes. The door handle is to the left, and made from metal. The door is held open by a small wooden wedge painted in a similar green. Through the doorway, we can see the thickness of the exterior wall of the building, and a sliver of green grass, foliage, and light sky.

Installation view of the same room with white walls and grey floor as in previous images but from a different angle. From this viewpoint, we can see two walls meeting in a corner at the center of the image where a doorway is located on the right wall. From the doorway, a ramp in the same color as the floor juts out straight from the doorway, pointing to the left in the image. Through the doorway we can glimpse parts of a closed white door. Next to the door, on the wall, we can see a small grey, rectangular box, with a green, grey, and red button vertically arranged. On the left wall, a window is located above the grey floor ramp. The window is rectangular and made up from six square window panes. Its frames are painted in white. Directly beneath it, we can see a white radiator, and a L-shaped pipe leading into it from the ceiling. Through the window we can see a light grey sky, and the upper part of a cream colored building with arched windows and a grey, tiled roof. The light from the window is reflected in the polished, grey floor. In the right bottom corner of the image, in front of the right wall, two identical small black boxes sit directly on the floor, plugged into electrical sockets on the wall. On their top, identical configurations of logs appear burning in flames. Through small slits in the boxes, wires and electrical components are visible.

Installation view of the same room with white walls and grey floor as in previous images. We can see two walls meeting in a corner at the center of the image where a doorway is located on the right wall. From the doorway, a ramp in the same color as the floor juts out straight from the doorway, pointing to the left in the image. Through the doorway we can glimpse parts of a closed white door. Next to the door, on the wall, we can see a small grey, rectangular box, with a green, grey, and red button vertically arranged. On the left wall, a window is located above the grey floor ramp. The window is rectangular and made up from six square window panes. Its frames are painted in white. Directly beneath it, we can see a white radiator, and a L-shaped pipe leading into it from the ceiling. Through the window we can discern a light grey sky, and the upper part of a creme colored building with arched windows and a grey, tiled roof. The light is very bright, and the view through the window appear over exposed. The white light from the window is reflected in the polished, grey floor and on the ramp.

Installation view of a hallway with white walls, white ceiling, and a dark grey floor, leading into a room with red light. Directly to our left we can see a closed, white door with metal handle. On the left wall, further down the hallway, we can see a red fire alarm box and what looks like a fire escape plan mounted on the wall. From the box, a cable runs across the wall at the end of the hallway, over to the other side, and up the ceiling. On the opposite of the fire escape plan, we can see a doorway with the start of a brown wooden staircase and handle leading to the floor above, out of frame, as well as a sliver of white wall directly to our right. In the ceiling we can see three white painted pipes, running in the same direction as the hallway, as well as a smoke detector to the right. At the end of the hallway, a doorway leads into the next room. There we can see a wooden floor, parts of a radiator to the left and a wall facing us. The wall is not a bearing wall and possibly temporary as it doesn't go all the way up to the ceiling. On the wall hangs a black screen which shows the text "STROBE OFF" in bright green. The light in the room is red.

Installation view of a large dark room with two walls that meet in the a corner slightly to the right of the center of the image. At the beginning of the left wall, we can see a rectangular window divided into six square window panes. The window glass appears to be covered in a foil that prevents light from entering the room. Through the dark foil, we can still discern a building with arches and windows on the other side of a cobble-stone courtyard. Above the rectangular window, we can glimpse a semicircular window of which the window panes have either been painted or covered in opaque foil. No light enters. To the right of the window, a temporary exhibition wall juts out perpendicular to the wall. On it, close to the window, we can see a black screen mounted at eye-height. On the screen we can read "Strobe On" in bright green capital letter text. To the right of the wall, we can see the rest of the room. A large projection takes up the entire wall opposite the temporary exhibition wall. The projection is a color field fading from a warm pinkish red, to orange, and pale yellow. The wooden floor in front of the projection and and the white walls and ceiling around it reflects the warm light.

Installation view of the same large dark room with projection as in previous image but from a different angle. In the foreground to the left, a dark wall takes up about one third of the image. Behind the wall in the foreground, we can see about half of a projection that takes up the wall we are facing. The projection is a color field fading from a warm pinkish red, to orange, and pale yellow. To the right of the projection, and directly to our right, we can see a white wall with two windows. The angle does not let us see the actual windows as they are inserted into the thick walls but we can discern radiators below them. In the ceiling we can see fluorescent light tubes which are not lit. The wooden floor, and the white wall and ceiling reflects the warm red light from the projection.

Installation view of the same a large dark room with projection as in previous image but from a different angle. We can see two walls meeting in a corner at the center of the image. On the left wall, we can see two rectangular windows made out of six square window panes each. Above them, large semicircular windows have been blacked out. Beneath them hangs white, rectangular radiators. Through the windows we can glimpse blue sky, trees and in the foreground a low white stone wall with a high ornamented metal fence in black. On the wooden floor in front of the windows, we can see the light from outside reflected in bright square patterns. On the right wall, we can see a large projection. The projection is a color field fading from a warm pinkish red, to orange, and pale yellow with the text "Strobe Off 1" in centered, bright green capital letters. In front of the projection, far down the opposite side of the room, and in the bottom left corner of the image, we can see a simple rectangular bench in white, reflecting some of the light from the windows. The wooden floor in front of the projection and and the white walls and ceiling around it reflects its warm red light.
