“Appeel” is a game without rules. It starts with a wall that is covered in stickers aligned in a grid that await to be pulled off and put in a new order by the visitors. The stickers, and its white negative on the wall, form, similarly to binary coded pixels, ornaments, news and pictures - on the original wall and far beyond: they move to adjoining rooms, onto faces and even leave the city.
