Nikola Winkler nikolamitk@hotmail.com ZERO-LEVEL, 2000 black adhesive paper, 30 x 10 inch. The Zero-Level indicates the separation between above and below the ground of a city. This Zero-Level is raised and therefore recalls the existence of an underground, which is equally as important for the identity of the city as the perceptible half is. There is one mark on the wall creating a relationship with the exhibition room and all other works there. Another mark in the elevator, which moves up and down, puts into question itself.
