In 2012 I became more sensitive to the meaning and value of materials while assisting the American artist Theaster Gates on his “Huguenot House”, a project on the occasion of DOCUMENTA (13).

​

This site-specific installation turned the disused elevator shaft into another space, a nowhere place where light and water danced and pulsed to the natural, amplified sounds of the machinery of the elevator. The artist transformed and reinvented the atmosphere of the overlooked shaft into a space with its own voice, light, and function.
