Sabine Carbon: Ägyptischer Hof I   2009

What happens in-between? When the museumbuilding is finished, but it´s not a museum yet? When Helios and Nefertiti still have to wait for their performance? When packing material is outperforming art? How does the building then relate to art? Or to scaffolds and tools?

Sabine Carbon traces this questions via photography. From may 2009 to october 2009 she visited the ´Neues Museum´ many times from emptyness until the moving in of the archeological collections.
