The very important, the in-between, the monolith are three artistic elements that rescue forms found in public space in Berlin, while treating them as formal cultural heritage of the present.

The fragility, temporality and multiple authorship as well as the aesthetic properties of these elements are made visible in this installation.
The very important is a large-scale painting exhibited on a zigzag of fences, showing us many copies of underlined lines of words found on Berlin facades.
The in-between is a recreation of the traces of an erased message on the tiles of the Kottbusser Tor subway station, visible only in the joints of the tiles.
The monolith is a public transportation stop bar made from scraps of materials such as plastic, glass, and colored cardboard found on the gray floors of the city.
The affective power of these three encounters creates deviations that invite multiple readings. There is no narrative thread in this installation, but rather it is an ambiguous scenario in which different elements with a decadent aesthetic are taken from the public space and transformed to allow them to meet.
