Unrealized proposal for the production of honey on the roof of the building.
The honey bee — we know about its important role as a useful insect and pollinator, but equally as a biological indicator
of environmental change. The disproportionally significant part it plays in ecosystems is becoming better known, not least
because it is under threat. On the other hand, neurobiologists study these insects in order to understand how communication
functions between nerve cells. But what part do they play in art?

The ink drawings entitled "Anticipations" by Boris Rebetez are graphic interpretations of the artist's personal
photographic archive. This series, which should eventually count 100 original drawings in the future, is an
attempt to fictionalize the "photographic reality" through an analogous medium in order to open up a new
common mental space for the viewer.

The exhibition brings together works by artists who all share an interest in landscapes, spaces and environments.
It takes its title from the essay of the same name by Lucius Burckhardt, the Basel sociologist, planning theorist
and architect, who explores the question of what landscape is – namely a construction. Burckhardt suggests that
landscape exists not as a phenomenon of the environment, but arises in the imagination of the person looking at it.
This way of looking is governed by a process of selection: only by means of this selection process – via exclusion,
filtering and re-combination – does the picture of a landscape take shape. As a way of seeing, subjective perception
also enables movement and positioning in the landscape to become part of the creative process.
The artists at Kunsthalle Basel take account of this and direct their view at subsidiary motifs and everyday vistas, at
architecture that determines our surroundings, and likewise at natural features and at experienced, appropriated
and interiorized space. The results are personal topographies and narratives about places that are familiar to us all,
and all of which - astonishingly - are beautiful. For that is Lucius Burckhardt’s conclusion: it is impossible to
generate an ugly image of landscape.

Color print / 80 x 120 cm
Boris Rebetez' photographs are based on a very simple collage technique. He takes pictures of landscapes from
various magazines, cuts them up, mounts them, photographs and finally enlarges them. This results in a sampling
of impressions suggesting a plausible new reality. Foreground and background, lighting, shadows and objects are
only apparently flowing, until one recognizes the few brutal but virtuosic cuts in the picture. The artist works with
small and precise gestures. The individual landscapes retain their "autonomy", because they are not interlocked,
but rather layered consecutively and horizontally. A logical perspectival sequence is undermined in this way. A post
in the foreground of a picture becomes, in contrast with a meadow landscape, monumentalized, or a street is
miniaturized directly adjacent to a rooftop landscape. Since the autonomous plateaus are next to one another in an
optically harmonious co-existence, the sum of the fragments is read as a unit. This reveals a process of optical
feedback, in that the different interpretations of the part and the whole, the integral part and the separable whole,
can no longer be distinguished.
