This performance is about and for communication.
Obvious. Boring. Pointless. Meaningless.
Compelling. Fresh. Beautiful. Free. Perfect.
This performance is against nostalgia and contempt.
This performance is for individual montage. If we are lucky
dispersion will come: the unlimited state that activates the space
and the in-between meanings, the state that points out a specific
separateness of each part within its entirety.

Description: includes questionnaire
Sight is one of the most perceptive senses, but it is also a sense that can be easily distracted because
the focus of attention can change.
It could be that you didn’t find the slideshow particularly interesting but:
Was there anything that captured your attention during the slideshow?
Can you remember any of the pictures, images or events?
Did you confront anything disturbing during the slideshow?
Concluding his essay “Bridge and Door”, sociologist Georg Simmel pointed out that it is the potential
to move beyond arbitrary barriers, which distinguishes the human being as “the bordering creature
who has no border”.
The slideshow may have been interrupted by the behaviour of other people, and one’s personal space
may have been invaded, but it was completed successfully.
There were 76 slides projected in the room tonight and we were all given an opportunity to see them.
Refreshments were available afterwards.
Did you want the other people to stop or leave?
Were you comfortable on your reserved seat?
How do you like your tea?
We function within a stream of events. On a regular basis we are supplied with goods, entertainment
and provided with an excellent service, which has been promised to us.
We and other people live our lives in a civilized way, sharing public space organized according to
human rights and democracy.
Are you satisfied?
Are you anxious?
Is there anything else they can do for you?
the focus of attention can change.
