The stage is set, even I’m still behind the scenes. It is frozen scenography of the break and act, which reveals or covers invisible – expanding the field of action and marks its visible territory in public. In the further plan, in a solemnly crowded assembly hall images about the rules of the internal order of the space are formed after endless attempts. Curtains as a background can serve the expression, speech and also the power, in any period of its development or declination. It can be decorated and, if necessary, these elements can be removed, leaving almost imperceptible imprints in the fabric.

​Installation incorporates a significant amount of metal pins (made in Russia), which pierce silky material as a temporary attachment. Metal lines draws deformation in the program of the festive flow.

“ækt”, the word act. (from eng.) pronunciation, indication for the recommended reading, spelling dictates or silently announces the responses.
