Nine Rooms, One Door

Tobias Renke, 2038

Nine Rooms, One Door, 2038

Catalogue note

The earliest work in the collection and the one visitors stand in front of longest. Nine plans of nine rooms, drawn by the same routine with the seed advanced by one each time, so the rooms are recognisably relatives. Eight of them have a door in the north wall. The ninth does not, and Renke has never said whether that was the routine's doing or his. He was asked directly in 2039 and replied that the routine is included with the work and the buyer is welcome to check. Nobody, as far as the gallery is aware, has.
