The exhibition conveys thoughts and attitudes toward to life through stairs and the movement up and down on it which are always around us but unrecognized.

A staircase is an architectural element with a simple structure in which the same elements are repeated. It connects different spaces, but also exists as an independently, separate space. To borrow the words of the artist, stairwells could be defined as a connecting passage with no clear beginning or end, and also as floating spaces. Gaston Bachelard also said in his book La poetique de l’espace that a path emerges symbolically from this neutral character of the staircase.

BAHC’s concerns about her status as an artist started from the stairways of Künstlerhaus Bethanien, and was conveyed through two performers, namely a mime artist and a percussionist living in Berlin. BAHC hopes that someone walking around the exhibition hall will be able to reflect on their center while feeling the sense of their feet when climbing the stairs.

In this way, BAHC reproduces existing things with the camera, while creating a narrative through the artist’s intervention in the images. The work begins by approaching what she experiences with a slightly twisted perspective, not to vaguely convey her personal experience, but to capture the center from which the idea arose. In this way, BAHC documents thoughts derived from a situation or space as a photographer.
