Untitled, 2010 was an extensive project in two parts sited in two different art institutions. One part was in the gallery space NO.5 in Bergen Kunsthall, the other – the exact mirror image of the first – was in the museum Jeu de Paume in Paris. Each of the parts consisted of an accurate reconstruction of an existing space in the Jeu de Paume building, but with one crucial difference: in each of the rooms one of the walls was mechanized so it could move slowly back and forth on an imperceptible scale in relation to each visitor who stepped into the other space. Each of the two rooms became a reflection of its counterpart, where motion in one room was initiated by visitors in the other room.

The catalogue Tomo Savic-Gecan, Untitled 2010 was published in a collaboration between Bergen Kunsthall and Jeu de Paume, and is Tomo Savic-Gecan’s first catalogue. The publication reflects the dual nature of the exhibition project, as it is has been printed in two versions. At first glance the two versions seem identical, but on closer scrutiny one notices that the catalogue that was presented in Bergen was in Norwegian and English, and the catalogue that was sold in France was in French and English. In this way the publication continues to reflect the project’s conceptual exploration of different places and publics. Both versions include a text by the curator of the exhibition, Elena Filipovic.
