A land unfamiliar
in-side this non-place echoes of waiting loudly
blind
that who
waits
in-side this non-place numbers have changed shape
from
something else, someone
the changing in shape in-side this non-place includes but is not restricted to numbers
includes but is not restricted to
folders, shelves,
a table
includes but is not restricted to the screens or
whatever life they (will) screen-ed
or to this very non-place
I’ve lived in-side this non-place for too long that the changing
in shape includes but is not
restricted
to me, my words,
my memories,
my diaries

Description
The installation of the work is an interpretation of an in-between situation, limbo like waiting space. A long white clean corridor, with fluorescent lighting. An atmospheric sound piece is heard. 8 small phone screens are spread around the walls of the corridor. The beginning of the corridor is an open door to the short leg of the L shape of the corridor, meant to separate the long part of the corridor from other works in the space. At the end of the corridor there are magazine folders on shelves extending from the floor up until the ceiling. Inside the folders are papers from my publication diary “Letters from a land unfamiliar”. One of the shelves is a bit longer in order for people to use as a table to read.
