Alientation in a Vacant Hotel Room

 



In "Vacancy" by Robert Stadler, the artist created an entirely blue room in Galerie Yvon Lambert's Project Room to construct a unique dichotomy between the commercial space of a hotel room and that of a public exhibition space. As Stadler explains on his website, both a hotel room and gallery are "…public spaces in which it's important from time to time to create a sensation of intimacy for the visitor / guest. Rather than a furnishing proposition, 'Vacancy' tries to reproduce that feeling of alienation that one can sometimes experience in a hotel room."
