In Potential of the Gap, Torell has worked performatively with method, place and audience. She has used the inherent structures of places, or its specific functions both as a material to be used and as a method together with the gap. To sharpen a now, in the present and to create a “new place”.  

 

The gap ‘works’ when it occurs as a contrast to the other, it amplifies the movement as well as the relationship to one thing and the other. It exposes something and creates a space for something else. The project has taken place in, about and alongside the public and semi-public space in Venice, Norrköping, Stockholm, Småland, Istanbul, Gdansk and Tromsø.
