Summary:
Since the mid-1990s, Henrik Olesen (*1967 Denmark, lives and works in Berlin) has used media such as collage, sculpture, and minimalistic spatial intervention to investigate the social construction of identity and its historiography. Through the appropriation of source images and contextual shifts not dissimilar to the method invented by Aby Warburg for his "Mnemosyne Atlas," Olesen probes the associations between homosexuality and its criminalization in the past, as well as in the present. His archival work sheds light on the enduring existence of spaces for Others, and inscribes homosexual subculture once more into the history of art and culture.

Private space is experienced as the extension of the self; in its simplest sense, it means that the space is mine. It is not neutral and not shared with others.

Summary:
Private space is experienced as the extension of the self; in its simplest sense, it means that the space is mine. It is not neutral and not shared with others. Is one lives in a situation in which the need for private space is not respected, one can suffer denial of the self, a suffocation of the personal. There is a relationship between the sense of self and actual physical privacy, and there is a relationship between the self and what is mine. And yet the autonomy of the self rests on the paradox that autonomy must be provided by the other.
