In Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, George Perec understands a footnote as a trace in the space. It is often placed at the bottom of a printed page and adds a comment, reference, remark etc. to a designated part of a main text.
The group show unaffected interest1-7 uses the location of The Pool which is underneath the ground level to refer to the space of the footnote. The site specific installation by Eliane Bertschi and Fabrizia Flühler is made in response to its surrounding and involves the exhibition space as a natural environment. Naama Roth’s Column is made out of reinforced steal, wrapped by an ink-jet print and draws attention to the hidden construction of the space. Like the Column, the paintings by Emmanuel Berti have a fictive quality. They are based on the architecture of the SB34/The Pool but add imaginary details. Untilted by Damiano Curschellas consists of two aluminium panels which mirror their surrounding. They lean onto one another and provide each other with support, hence they become untilted, aligned.
