1 shows: exhibition history

Resident’s nightwear and linens from social institutions were borrowed and exhibited for the duration of the project in a public gallery space in the city of Potsdam.

Two local nursing homes, a home for disabled, an orphanage, a hospital and a correctional facility participated in the project.
For the extent of the exhibition this laundry was removed from its circulation of use, its cycle of collection, washing, storage and distribution. The pieces were exhibited in glass cases which were also on loan from the Tucholsky Memorial Museum in Rheinsberg Castle. 

After the exhibition all items were returned.
