“Is there another bus?” “Are insects overtaking us?” “Has somebody been in my room?” The questions that light up in the dimmed space look as if they had been noted down by hand. “Do I know everything about myself?” Everyday subject matter alternates with metaphysical whimsy; hidden anxiety gives way to self-reflection. No sooner do we espy the words before they fade away and make room for the next thought-provoking impulse. Five slide projectors beam a total of 405 questions on the wall from different directions. The rattling equipment traces their gradual appearance and disappearance – a rhythm that transports us into a mental world of silent self-questioning.

As so often in their oeuvre, Fischli/Weiss ask a question that keeps us constant company, perhaps even guides decisions, and rarely penetrates our minds in isolation. Without revealing the origin or context of the single questions, the installation challenges the radius and range of our imagination and evokes personal memories. At times warmhearted, at times melancholy, and always mysterious, the questions consistently push the limits of our thoughts.
