The room here, is approached as a mechanism. A mechanism which produces or imposes particular situations, related always directly with the object's amd the subject's presence or absence.
Room, the minimum space unit, can be considered as a voluntary confinement space, a space of refuge. The resident during the day acts inside the room in a various ways, and behaves according to what the space imposes him to do, or according to his own will. Room is converted to a capacitor of human activity, is the refuge that greets the subject after each outing by this enclosed space. Room is becoming a point of reference to resident's enclosure. Any disruption of the normal image of the roomtherefore can cause improper feelings, insecurity, and anxiousness.The distortion of this closed system that house and room constitute is in the core of the installations that are presented in this essay. The concept of confinement, the sense of uncanny, the disorientation, the existence and use of heretical objects or their absence, the scaling are basic elements that are contained in the unusual rooms of Dan Graham, Paul McCarthy, Gregor Schneider, Mark Manders.
