Ballet about a Bug
Video, objects, 2013
People infect each other with various views (religious, economic, conspiracy theories, superstitions, ideas about different values et al). The influence of theses ideas can differ widely and change over time (for example, the idea that jewels are valuable is currently agreed by most, but at the moment there’s comparatively few supporters of the theory that lizard people secretly rule the world). The process video, which developed, influenced by casual factors, plus the objects arranged in the space, encourage contemplation, with an ironic laconicism, about countless coincidences which often form the content of people’s lives.
