						version 1
						
						preface
						the work of gelatin evolves from desires about 
						situations we miss and we
						want to be in.
						the project balcony has been developed from a very 
						strong desire to step
						outside a window on 91. floor.
						the balcony is about the feeling you have when you stand 
						on it and about
						the pleasure you absorb, when beeing 
						totally dependent on a structure and
						atmosphere you have created yourself.
						1. 
						project

						this studio program.

						space (the window, where action will happen), is walled 
						in with a 
						system of cardboard boxes.
						other artist sharing 91. floor do not know what we are

						moment after beeing 
						pulled back in.
