All kinds of materials fill the room. We see lids, tires, chairs, mirrors, a shoe flying off and a tea bag hanging in the wall. We suddenly feel thrown into Duchamp’s studio and amid his readymades. Familiar objects in unexpected scenarios challenge the way one moves about and relates to space. DIY structures replicate ecosystems of tragedy and hope. As we walk, leaving our footprints behind, we’re reminded of philosopher Guattari’s concerns on how technological transformations can propel chains of unbalances and we can’t help but wonder how spaces will change in the future. So we question to remember. Sometimes, we throw ourselves into the void. Other times, we fill the gaps with perishing stories. In between dreams, we hope to find a familiar face.
