Artwork Description:
Installation. We see many doors in the room, people
chucked them out, but they led to somewhere before, protected from
something. We slide one door and on it see the poem, it hangs on a nail.
It says:
, from Disparates, , ,
I don't know where
I am either
I said, when you said
that you didn't know
Then you began to cry
As if trouble and sorrow were
the only reality
the only place
for life
Then you said
that I in any case was not
so unhappy
I didn't
deny this
For we know
nothing
of each other's night
of each other's darkness
of each other's stars
shimmering darkly
- Göran Sonnevi
translated from Swedish by Rika Lesser
And then we are walking into the room where 2 Mannequin are standing,
one dressed in a flowery,long, warm coat and it looks like it holds a
hand of a child in a sailor t-shirt and a hat. Then there is a propeller
on the floor and a projection of my work, my soul. It is not too long
now. And it loops.
This is an exploration of a day filled with thoughts and memories. Past and present dwell on my mind. And at night it all drowns in the world of dreams, it loops and the new day begins.
