![[A building with a symmetrical design features three distinct sections, each framed by large, white columns that support rounded arches. The central section contains a green door with vertical panels, flanked by two white columns. To the right of the door, there is a gray square sign with a black arrow pointing to the right. On either side of the door are windows with green frames. A wooden bench is positioned against the wall beneath the right window. The ground in front of the building is paved with cobblestones, and faint white markings are visible on the pavement near the columns.]](/media/images/2_CarolynLazard_RemiseSigns_KunstvereinBrauns.width-1600.jpg)

![[The image shows a section of a plain, white-painted wall with a green door on the right side. The door is vertical, made of wood, and painted a deep green color. It has a modern silver handle and a round keyhole below it. On the white wall to the left of the door, there are four small metal pegs or screws arranged in a rectangular pattern, two on top and two at the bottom, suggesting that something was once mounted there, like a sign or a plaque. The paint around this area is slightly discoloured, indicating the outline of whatever used to be attached. The bottom part of the wall features a strip of light grey stone.]](/media/images/4_CarolynLazard_RemiseSigns_Detail_Kunstverei.width-1600.jpg)

![[In a white exhibition space, a green door stands wide open on the right, its swing obstructed by a wooden doorstop of the same color. On the back wall, centered beneath a heater and in front of the window, there is a flower arrangement on a ledge. The arrangement features tree branches with purple blossoms and dark green leaves. On the left wall, opposite the flowers, are two identical objects resembling fireplaces, mounted on electrical cabinets. The wood is charred, with the flames glowing brightly.]](/media/images/15_CarolynLazard_Hintertur_InstallationView_K.width-1600.jpg)

![[A detail of the left corner of green wooden door where the doorstop rests. The wooden doorstop is the same green color as the door. The door shows layers of peeling paint, and the cracked wood’s rough texture contrasts with the smooth, gray floor beneath. The light falls in from the left, casting subtle shadows that accentuate the worn edges.]](/media/images/12_CarolynLazard_RemiseDoorstopper_2021_Kunst.width-1600.jpg)

![[In a white space with gray painted floors, a raised doorway in the corner is made accessible with a gray ramp. On the right side of the ramp, parrallel to the wall are two identical small black boxes sit directly on the floor. On their top, identical configurations of logs appear burning in flames. Through small slits in the boxes, wires and electrical components are visible. On the right side of each boxes, there's a sticker that reads, “REGISTER NOW; ACTIVATE YOUR FREE GUARANTEE; CALL FREE NOW; 0800 597 8500.”]](/media/images/16_CarolynLazard_Hintertur_InstallationView_K.width-1600.jpg)

The hallway leads to an open doorway, beyond which a room is visible, illuminated by a red-pink light. Inside this room, a flat-screen monitor is mounted on the wall, displaying green text, saying ‘STROBE OFF’ on a black background.]](/media/images/19_CarolynLazard_Hintertur_InstallationView_K.width-1600.jpg)

![[A dimly lit exhibition space with a warm red glow with wooden flooring and white walls, some of which are used as partitions. A large rectangular projection on one of the walls displays a gradient of red and pink hues, casting a soft light across the space. On the left side, a smaller screen with green text on a black background is mounted on a partition wall near a window with arched frames. The window reveals an outdoor scene with a white building in the background.]](/media/images/20_CarolynLazard_Hintertur_InstallationView_K.width-1600.jpg)
