The Reinhard Building (Overlapping Times)
The Reinhard Building, Luxembourg (Overlapping Times)
2024
This series explores the layered experience of time within the former Reinhard glove factory (1882) in the Grund district of Luxembourg, now converted into residential space. The work reflects on what it means to inhabit a place where past and present coexist, where traces of industrial activity remain embedded within contemporary domestic life.
The compositions combine photographic fragments taken by the photographer Bern. Kutter, cut into square sections and interwoven with black-and-white images of the building’s present everyday use. Drawn colored frames and blank white areas are added to the surface, suggesting both perceptual emphasis and zones of absence, what cannot be fully known, yet is felt.
Through overlapping grids and interruptions, the series evokes the coexistence of memory, lived experience, and possibility. The space becomes a site where former labor, current habitation, and the unknown future intersect, revealing time not as linear, but as simultaneous layers unfolding within the same architectural body.
