Which boundaries do we draw—and which do we cross? How do our techno-logical choices shape the world we live in?
Through immersive installations combining light, water, and projections, along-side plotter drawings, Studio Lemercier transforms HEK into a space where rea-lity is questioned. Thresholds – On the Values We Set and the Limits We Cross brings together works that explore transitions: from technology to nature, the visible and the invisible, imagination and responsibility. Each work can be un-derstood as a new threshold, a point at which perception shifts and alternative realities begin to emerge.
The first comprehensive presentation of Studio Lemercier’s work in Switzerland offers insight into nearly two decades of artistic practice. For years, the studio has investigated how light, projection, and digital technologies shape our perception of space and reality—from the opacity of the black box to the transparency of simple tools. From systems that conceal their internal logic to works that reveal their materiality, their effort, and their limits. In more recent projects, the focus has increasingly turned toward the ecological consequences of human activity and question of how art might open new perspectives on our relationship with the environment.
