Stephen Prina's 1994 installation "Cologne Dom-Hotel, Room 101" features a row of wooden crates, each with a small flap on top. The crates are reminiscent of shipping or storage containers, highlighting the everyday objects that surround us. This minimal yet impactful installation invites viewers to consider the nature of art and its relationship to the ordinary. The simple, unadorned wooden crates, arranged in a row, seem to evoke a sense of order and containment, suggesting a process of storage or organization.
