Josse Pyl guides the visitor through a series of drawings and sculptures that appear to hesitate between image and text. A visual language of its own, unfolding in various forms. Signs are turned into architectural sentences and objects transform into symbols. Therefore, the works are not a text, but something that reminiscence one. They are nei-ther objects nor images, but something in-between.

Pencil and paper turn objects into images, made by rubbing light and shadow. Drawings emerge out of the objects they mean to represent. Reality gets framed in the black-and-white world of language. The works become a mixture of images and the signs that try to describe these images. Letters and characters get lost among pictures and thoughts and exist somewhere between objects and text, between looking and reading. Sight and vis-ual language are superimposed and lead to a world amidst reality and imagination.
