Kirstin Arndt, Untitled (net), 2015, PVC-rope, silver (diameter 10mm), 330 x 440 x 80 cm height 290 cm, Courtesy of the artist.
The image shows an installation attached to the wall of an empty white gallery space. The piece imitates the structure of partially damaged, large net with big loops and knots. This is contrasted by the material of the net, which is hard and static, probably metal. The installation covers about half the wall, and reaches onto the floor, where some strands of the net continue into the room.

On a white wall, there are seven large posters hung up in two rows, five in the bottom row, and two in the top row.
