DE-INSTALLATION
Paper tags hung by natural thread & blue tape, signed by new owners and displayed in accordance to the acquired belonging original’s position in the apartment.
This exercise of collective de-installation invited people to de-install my apartment by purchasing my belongings, leaving behind a tag with their name. By taking the spirit, so to speak, of the objects of attachment and letting them transcend in their ephemeral existence to another context and owner, the event became an emotional and collective exercise of accepting the context and not the object.
This collective de-installation exercise invited people to de-install my apartment by buying my belongings, leaving behind a tag with their name. By sharing the spirit of these objects of attachment, allowing them to transcend their ephemeral existence and move to another context and another owner, the event became an emotional exercise in accepting the context, not the object.
Seldomly is the attachment about the object itself
rather than about the moments it has witnessed,
the emotions it has unleashed
and the people with whom it was shared.
