Besser Vertikal takes the form of an over-sized stack of paper with permanently curling edges — investigates materiality and process, emptiness and possibility. Rendered emphatically material through opaque black epoxy resin and made weighty in its scale. It is concerned with the status and position of physical media and processes in the present. At the same time, it questions the possibilities a seemingly blank sheet of paper may open up — the prospects and limitations such a medium might hold in our digital, pandemic age. Here, Andersen draws not only on the particularity of our current reality, but also the very process of making: art, decisions, rules. We, too, are enlisted as participants in the unfolding of this process: faced with limitless paths and no prescribed destination, with the prospect of infinity or else oblivion, as we navigate the uncertainty of the encounter that has been set before us.
