“Cloth” represents ordinary people within two coexisting but unequal systems: white denotes locally rooted life, black the ways of living shaped by globalisation and fashion. Their boundaries are continually opened and closed through communication, media and social behaviour. The gate becomes a metaphor for intervention, entry and refusal.

Approximately 300 A3-sized fragments, in a black-to-white ratio of about 4:6, translate these relationships into space. Rolling, lining up, clustering and isolating the pieces generate different boundaries. Flowing spaces permit diffusion and passage; retentive spaces introduce resistance. Enclosed and partly enclosed formations create a tension between movement and stillness, making the permeable “in-between” of social systems a bodily experience.
