HEY PANOPTICON!
HEY ASYMMETRY!

The exhibition "Hey panopticon! Hey asymmetry!" features new works by henrik olesen, created in response to the architecture of schinkel pavillon as a panoptic platform. Henrik olesen's work has long addressed subcultural visual codes, deploying them to demarcate the ubiquitous gaze of the public. Taking Schinkel Pavillon's 360-degree view as a starting point, the works explore the blurring boundaries between the interior and exterior in a society that increasingly requires people to reveal personal information whilst at the same time sanctioning that which falls outside the norm.
