At Sala Trenker, Urbano presents Zwischenzeit, an installation composed of an historic street lamp from the former DDR and a group of leaves lying on the floor beneath it. Each of the leaves has been sculpted in metal and handpainted, showing different seasons through the change in colors in the foliage.

The street lamp flickers and dimms in random sequences, simulating an inner dialogue or perhaps an intimate conversation. This responds to Urbano’s questioning of the secret lives of objects and artworks, and how they would behave as autonomous characters.

The luminic rhythm gently induces the viewer in a state of contemplation, illuminating surrounding artworks and casting a nocturnal ambience across the exhibition space. With this work Urbano deepens his interest in bending the limits between reality and fiction, proliferating speculative narratives derived from everyday artifacts.
