    The edition Spion (Spy) by Christine Moldrickx consists of 23 charcoal drawings on paper perforated in the same place. The drawing sketches an empty room with a frontal view of a windowless wall with just a few strokes. While in Moldrickx’s work Threads the two halves of a drill are embedded in parallel slots in a wall, here a “piercing” of the room takes place. Behind this wall, on and through the paper, a small part of a photograph becomes visible, turning the viewer into a spy (and at the same time the spied-on): the photo shows the artist’s nose. “Unlike in reality, for me the hole was there first and then the walls.”1
    As in Gerhard Richter’s Atelier (EB91) or Sarkis’ Nach Anton (EB78), two different artistic media, photography/printmaking and hand drawing/watercolor, are combined in one work, creating serially produced but different unique pieces.
