A deserted scene unfolds before us: the small stage with its pole dancing pole is brightly lit, but there is no seductive dance performance to be seen. Instead, a mop and a bucket stand on the stage, plain and unglamorous. A yellow sign warns of the danger of slipping on the freshly mopped floor.
The snapshot raises questions: Who danced here? Who started cleaning? Where are these people now? And in what kind of establishment could this stage be located? Viewers are encouraged to reflect on people who are not visible but seem to be implicitly involved in this scene: dancers, cleaning staff, club operators, guests, and spectators.
This work can also be seen as a tribute to the gay conceptual artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres, who caused a sensation in 1991 with his installation Untitled (Go-Go Dancing Platform), in which a go-go boy performed in the exhibition space.
