For „Aperto“ Riccardo La Rocca replaces the door of the apartment with a glass door, like those found at the entrance to residential or commercial buildings. With doing so, La Rocca opens a view of the exhibition space. At the same time, he also sets a boundary: The door provides a view, but at the same time denies access. It has a cylinder lock and without

a key it can only be opened from the inside. As the exhibition is in a flat, the intervention becomes multi-layered. Aperto is a commentary on transparency and accessibility, on limitation and exclusion. The intervention can be read in relation to the art field as well as to private space.
