Locked Room Scenario

Gander’s ‘Locked Room Scenario’ is premised on the classic Agatha Christie murder mystery in which all suspects are ‘locked’ into the same situation until the culprit is found. Taking over a large warehouse in the East of London, manipulating techniques drafted from stage design, the installation invoked a group exhibition to which the viewer was denied direct access – all of the rooms being locked. But in each case, a glimpse of the exhibition – through frosted glass, a letterbox – was given, hereby increasing the degree of mystery. To coincide with the project, Gander had a second solo exhibition at Lisson Gallery, London.
