Badezimmer

"'Badezimmer, Daily Duties' offers an apparently complete inventory of the typical activities that take place in that part of the house (washing, shaving, urinating, etc.). These kinds of categorized observations insist on clearly defined boundaries, and in their evocations of order and control proclaim the belief that inventories can delineate the contours of our existence. Yet, the perpetual permutations blast open the boundaries and render the system impotent." (Dorothea Dietrich, in Matthias Mansen Editionen, Museum Folkwang Essen, 2001.)
