DOCK
2015
Every winter, some ships stay in the dry dock of the Zürichsee Schiffahrtsgesellschaft. For a limited period of time, the transport means are taken out of their functional contexts and are paralysed for repairs. It shows itself in a state of exception that allows for a heightened perception. What can be seen are mainly sections of the underside of the vessel, which are otherwise invisible under water. The hull becomes monumental, whereas the supporting vehicles, scaffolding and other equipment appear toy-like. The hull appears almost abstract and evokes associations with spaceships of other kinds.
