DESCRIPTION

Tape Paris is a part of an extensive group exhibition titled "Inside", which has taken up residence in the Parisian Palais de Tokyo until January 2015.The curatorial concept delves into the murky territory of both physical and psychological interiority, thematising immersion, introspection and probing of the depths of self. The main idea was to transform the whole building into a convulsive mind/body organism whose slippery inner limits a motivated explorer has yet to trace and confront. The stretched biomorphic skin of Tape Paris is marking the entry point to the whole experience, being a literal incarnation of an inner-directed, regressive environment - the sense of descent into the primordial always lingering around its openings.

It took twelve people ten days to wrap-up the concrete pillars in the great entrance hall of Palais de Tokyo into a maze of these accessible translucent passageways, which coil 50 meters through the gallery space and reach the total height of 6 meters.
