an oversize pocketbook on Dealing with People - an installation and compilation of thoughts on our choices affecting our future

"Years might be spent gathering the public together. ... This abstraction, which the individuals so illogically form, quite rightly repulse the individual instead of coming to his help. ... But to adopt the same opinion as the public is a deceptive consolation because the public is only there in abstracta. ... A public is a kind of gigantic something, an abstract and deserted void which is everything an nothing." (Søren Aabye Kierkegaard)

Individuals and institutions sponsoring as much as acquiring and displaying notorious expressions of artistic sophistication, reveal having reached the culmination of dullness and lack of imagination in an attempt of concealing intellectual bloodlessness as well as emotional varicose veins behind the performing arts of concrete curtains.

Too many people seem not to perceive the ubiquitous and often quite horrofying phenomenology of customary randomness circumscribing - global, national, local - societal being as an inevitable result of their individual habit of relaxing rational, emotional and responsible intellect in every available sense of retiring their Seven Senses, whenever and as much as they can.
