I was most impressed by Koop's series Hybrid Human (2010) in the last room of the exhibition. It consists of a few large-scale paintings with tiny, solitary figures standing in front of an empty, monochrome screen, that is embedded on a bright red or green background. They are combined with a video projection, contemporary dance, and a sound piece. It shows on the one hand, how mediated our experiences are nowadays. On the other, we as the beholders really become part of the installation...

HI Anja,

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I think that room was a big surprise for a lot of people as well, given that it integrated video projection and paintings. Overall, I wasn't as taken with the results as some might have been. But it's definitely a big step for someone traditionally associated with painting. I also heard the performance on opening-night might have had a more visceral effect than the resulting projection.
