The word "Debris" in the context of the show depicts as much actual fragments of destroyed material as fragments of memory and meaning.
The gallery will be transformed into a state of carefully constructed, stylized destruction. Parts of a DC-9 passenger plane that crashed in 1981 in Corsica,
(collected by the artist during several expeditions to a mountain top) will be superimposed with the splintered fragments of a destroyed museum floor
recovered at the nearby Universal Museum Joanneum, currently under renovation.
