The ten photographs are recordings of installations by Guillaume Bijl. The artist provides a complete metamorphosis to galleries, museums and art fairs. He has built exhibition spaces into a driving school, a showroom for second-hand cars, a shoe store, lighting store, hair salon, health club, gym and Oriental rug emporium. In total, he has carried out around fifty of these transformation-operations, of which only a few have a museum as final destination.
