Ugo Rondinone's work confronts us with seduction and eroticism and anaesthetizing moods. We are slowed down, excited, involved and revolted, accepted and rejected, fascinated, soothed, laughed at. Tested, confused, intoxicated and sedated. The artistic world of his settings captures us in an in-between in a time and spacelessness that hovers above known reality, thereby creating a multitude of entanglements and desires. Nothing is real; everything is possible; nothing needs to happen in the amorous state of our affair with life and art.
