Destruction of the destruction

We let go. Of everything. We did other things, worked, ate, slept. Not thinking about it, just keeping it in the head and digesting it. One week later it was finally the right time and we decided to come back and continue in the artistic research and destruction.

It became actually destruction of the destruction. I focused on repairing the walls in five rooms, I destructed the details we made at the beginning. Entrance room started to be clean and white with no holes in the walls. Simulacrum, the room, where all materials were, changed. Some of the materials became trash and they were moved to the other room. White room underwent the biggest change. Plastic disappeared.  White cubes change positions. It became more of the labyrinth, tracing the marks of the movement. Of their own movement. Black tape was the marker. We also cleaned it and repaired the walls. In the kitchen, some of the sand cakes were destroyed. They distorted into a pile of material. And dirty black walls started to whiten. The modeling table changed its position, and drop off the extra material of itself. We also started the second round of pictures in photo/documentation room. More destruction happened in the treasure room. Also some materials, which we do not use anymore, were moved into this space. It started to fill in.

We spent there all day and left. Rooms continue to live lives on their own. Without us. People left us some notes. One of them stayed in my head: “it is scary”. I can understand it. It might be scary what people have in minds, what they can show and what other people actually see and find there, in the visual/material picture of their ideas. Weird.  And scary.
