	The Raumbezug works for walls are based on a careful analysis of the geometric and colour conditions of the space. For the selected wall I calculate a made-to-measure loop drawing, which is simple, which has a good rhythm and which corresponds well with the architecture.
	The rather monumental, radially symmetrical form of the loop extract is deprived of power by the coloration, in order to serve the space. The colours of the wall painting are aligned with the colour faults of the gallery’s light sources. Another aspect of camouflage is the addition of a lot of white at the main wall. At the slim side walls the colours are a little bit richer; they charge the pale main wall with energy. Since the colour is built up of several layers, and because of the indirect illumination, the wall painting has an immaterial effect, not unlike to a projection.
	I am not here is as well based on a loop drawing. It introduces the idea of an all over perspective; numerous equitable vanishing points evoque a more or less deep penetration of the wall. Its materiality is not ignored though.
