Rooms / Stages

Georges Rousse paints shapes across a room's walls, floor and doorframes so that, from one spot only, they lock into a clean geometric figure. From any other angle, curator Matthias Harder told Monopol, they would look distorted and chaotic. The camera stands on that spot, so the photograph only shows the trick working.

Twelve artists treat the room as the subject rather than the backdrop: Robert Polidori's Versailles interiors, Götz Diergarten's empty Berlin and London underground passages, Karen Stuke's long exposures holding a whole opera in one frame. Newton bridges to the rear hall with wall-sized murals of his hotel-suite fashion shoots, his 1983 pictures of Pina Bausch's company, and cases of Polaroids. If you've ever Street-Viewed a flat before a WG viewing, Viktoria Binschtok's Google Street View diptychs will feel like research.

Expect rooms without people in them; that's the point. One €12 ticket (€6 concessions) also covers Helmut Newton's One-off Album at the end. Thursdays run to 20:00, and it closes 15 November.
