In the project space AP of Galerie van Gelder Swiss artist François Dey shows in his exhibition 'To Do This Week' a dark room made out of cardboard boxes, coats and rags.
In preparation of a week working in the gallery François Dey composed a list of things to do and to take with him, in short a list of ‘To do this week’. Ad hoc he took a series of photos of eyes in close up of people running in and out of the gallery, i.e. the gallerists and colleague-artist Nicolas Chardon who installed his show next to his space. From very nearby he photographed their eyes out of his mobile dark room, in which he also developed and printed the pictures. Now four photo prints of eyes hung in the space stare at the visitor.
