VIDEO WINDOW is making its first appearance at Art Space Juraplatz in Biel/Bienne and presents one work by video artist Bettina Grossenbacher (Basel) in the outside and one in the inside area, both with metaphorical references to the location. The distinctive building was once a tram and bus stop, a bustling meeting place with a kiosk, telephone booth and urinal. It is a testament to 1930s modernist architecture in Biel/Bienne and now a listed building.

The two visually striking and atmospheric videos have a mysterious feel, sparking associations and firing our imagination. They tell stories, pose essential questions and linger in the mind thanks to their poetic nature. The artist invites us to continue the works in our imagination and create our own films in our minds.
