I BURIED BOMBS IN ALL AREAS EXCEPT ON THIS LINE 2022
(Vinyl cut)
The language that I employed, consisting of fake guidelines and absurd statements, was a subtle act of rebellion on my part. My intention was to investigate the power of information and text in controlling our actions and behavior, particularly under the auspices of authorities. Even though the commands were not real and the statements were evidently absurd, they still had an impact on people. This impact was especially potent in the setting of an art gallery, where visitors were possibly more inclined to anticipate unconventional experiences.
The notion that absurdity only exists when the truth is known is a fascinating one, suggesting that what is considered absurd can become the truth when there is ignorance or a lack of comprehension. In a sense, this is what I aimed to achieve with my art - to challenge people's perceptions and beliefs, and to urge them to question the established order. By using language in a satirical and unconventional way, I hope to create a disorienting instruction and space.
