a sound installation, little objects and the nicolai's traces series are combined to a room installation called zone, which pays tribute to andrej tarkovskij's 1979 film stalker. in the film the zone is a site, in which every dream comes true, a mental and physical site, which has no identity but is able to contain all the identities at the same time. the room installation is an attempt to transport these ideas into a setting to question the usual states of perception.
