THE IDEA OF BEING
2017
Installation
Various sizes
Oranges, orange juice, bricks (20 x 4,5 x 13 cm), wooden legs, plastic box with holes in the bottom (30 x 10 x 20 cm)

A smell of orange fills the room when the bricks, stapled on top of each other, squeeze the oranges. Their juice is pressed through the holes of the plastic box and is slowly spreading out on the floor, demanding your attention so you don’t step in it.


“The idea of being, an absolute I,
a completely contained identity.
Ignoring the potential of becoming,
transforming or resisting.”
