In Holes responds to the existing features of the room’s architecture, intervening upon them by mimicking and repeating, subverting or altering the many holes and openings found in the walls of the room. The intervention enacts two different gestures upon the walls’ cavities using deliberately inadequate materials for the job: openings are either blocked or “repaired” using rubber bands stretched between two nails at each side of the hole; or else additional rubber band loops are created on the walls, clustering around existing holes, excavations and circular obtrusions, suggesting additional openings in places where none exist and creating a playful sense of the room’s surface being riddled with pores and orifices.
