Alain1 is an installation that involves the use of preexisting wooden walls that were initially installed by Alain, the gallery owner. These walls have been painted in a distinct shade of green. The chosen shade is the same hue used as a backdrop in film production to separate actors from the background and facilitate the creation of special effects.
On the second floor, the wooden walls remain in their original state, except for the removal of three planks. These three planks are prominently displayed in the exhibition space and are intended to be acquired by collectors. If they are not purchased, they become the property of the artist at the end of the exhibition.
