Description:
Nicole Wermers Palisades shows an upside down camera ride that gives the impression of somebody walking across the ceiling. This simple change of perspective destabilises our point of view. Lamps or beams in an hotel lobby take on the appearance of sculptures and space is transformed into a landscape of light; an everyday walk through shopping-malls and office spaces is transformed into something quite beautiful and mesmerising.
