Works and Plays, 2025

​

An art project on the conversions of industrial sites

by baubüro in situ, Basel

 

In their current project “Works and Plays”, Sou Vai Keng and Martin Zeller deal with places of transformation: abandoned industrial areas and office buildings that are about to be put to a new use. In their often large-format photographic and text works, they focus on the structures and colours of the empty factories, which reflect the history of the places. The traces tell of the people and their physical labor, which is disappearing today in the age of the digital revolution.
